Solid Waste

The solid waste needs of Seminole are undertaken by Pinellas County Solid Waste. The County manages a landfill, a Waste-to-Energy facility, and county-wide recycling programs, and is argued to have one of the more advanced waste management systems that can be found in the Southeast United States.  The Pinellas landfill and waste to energy facility are located together at 3095 114th Ave. N., St. Petersburg.
Landfill: The Landfill was created by using natural clay native to the area to construct a wall around the natural layer of clay to form a bowl that separates the waste in the landfill from the environment around the landfill.  Trash is crushed, spread, and then covered with a layer of ash residue from the waste-to-energy process.  Items placed in the landfill include those that cannot be recycled or incinerated in the adjacent waste-to-energy plant, such as:

• Bulk items (e.g. mattresses and couches or large items such as boats).
• Construction debris.
• Liquescent items such as large amounts of cosmetics or dairy products.

Waste-to-energy-plant: Pinellas County’s Waste-To-Energy Plant has a capacity to burn three thousand tons of garbage each day and can produce up to seventy-five megawatts per hour of electricity. The plant incinerates garbage in a process that boils water and produces steam that turns turbines that generate energy. A large magnet is then used to remove metals from the resulting ash, which has been reduced in volume by ninety percent from its original form.
