Proposed Amendment to Waste-to-Energy Facility Operational Certificate

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Amended Op​erational Certificate for the Waste-to-Energy Facility issued

The Ministry of Environment and Parks issued the Amended Operational Certificate 107051 for Metro Vancouver’s Waste-to-Energy Facility.​

​About the Waste-to-Energy Facility and its Operational Certificate

Metro Vancouver's Waste-to-Energy Facility has operated in Burnaby since 1988 and currently handles about 240,000 tonnes of garbage per year, roughly a quarter of the region's garbage. It is a mass-burn facility that turns waste into electricity — approximately 180,000 megawatt hours per year, enough to power 16,000 homes — and recovers about 5,000 tonnes of metal annually.

The facility is approved by the BC Ministry of Environment and Parks​ through an Operational Certificate​. This Operational Certificate sets requirements including emissions li​mits, monitoring, reporting, and publication.
