Since 2004, NJ incinerators have received more than $50 million in subsidies through the NJ RPS program

Environmental Racism

In New Jersey, the majority of trash incinerators are located in low-income, communities of color.

Trash incineration

Trash incineration is the most polluting and expensive way to manage waste or to make energy.

NJ Renewable Portfolio Standard

The NJ RPS program classifies trash incineration as a renewable energy and makes incinerators eligible for "clean energy" subsidies.
