Edmonton Renewal Part of Sustainable
Approach to Waste Management
SENA Waste Services, a subsidiary of SUEZ ENVIRONNEMENT NORTH
AMERICA, announced today that the City of Edmonton, Alberta, has
selected the company for a five-year agreement worth approximately
$75 million to operate and maintain two key portions of the
Edmonton Waste Management Centre. Under the new agreement, SENA
Waste Services will maintain and operate the Edmonton Composting
Facility (ECF), and provide important maintenance support services
for the Integrated Process and Transfer Facility (IPTF), and the
Construction & Demolition (C&D) Facility.

“This selection represents an important milestone that clearly
demonstrates SENA Waste Services is well regarded by the City of
Edmonton, which is one of world’s most sustainable cities,” said
Bertrand Camus, CEO of SUEZ ENVIRONNEMENT NORTH AMERICA. SENA Waste
Services and its predecessor companies have worked with the City of
Edmonton since 2001.
According to Philippe Allouche, General Manager, SENA Waste
Services, the Edmonton Waste Management Centre is a unique
collection of advanced waste processing and research facilities.
Owned and operated by the City of Edmonton Waste Management
Services, the center is North America's largest collection of
modern, sustainable waste processing and research facilities and is
an integral part of Edmonton’s approach to waste management.
“In just over 20 years Edmonton has travelled from a relatively
simple waste management system to one of the most sophisticated in
the world,” said Bud Latta, Director – Processing and Disposal
Waste Management Services. “We are proud of our accomplishments and
excited to partner with SENA Waste Services in bringing innovative
solutions to the residents and businesses of Edmonton.”
The Integrated Processing and Transfer Facility maintained by
SENA Waste Services allows the separation of waste into three
categories:
- organics for composting
- waste for landfill
- waste for conversion to ethanol at the
on-site Waste-to-Biofuels Facility
The Construction & Demolition Facility recycles wood,
drywall, asphalt shingles, concrete, metals, and brush and trees.
The Edmonton Composting Facility operated and maintained by SENA
Waste Services is the largest composting facility in the country,
allowing for composting of both organic solid waste and bio-solids
material.
According to Latta, the City of Edmonton currently diverts up to
60% of household waste from landfill through recycling and
composting. The organic portion of the household waste is
sorted out and composted. “Our waste diversion success is the
result of effective, early strategic planning and now solid
operational execution,” he said. “SENA Waste Services has become an
important part of those operations and plays a key role in our
successes.”
"By making recovery a priority development focus, SUEZ
ENVIRONNEMENT has gradually become a producer of renewable energy
and a leader in resource management. The circular economy is at the
heart of our strategy and today we bring our clients much more than
waste treatment services; we offer them renewable solutions as
demonstrated by the exemplary case of Edmonton," concludes
Marie-Ange Debon, Deputy CEO in charge of International Business at
SUEZ ENVIRONNEMENT.
