Fairfax County trash is taken to the I-95 Energy Resource Recovery Facility (E/RRF) owned and operated by Reworld Fairfax, Inc. (CFI). There, waste is burned to produce steam in a boiler. The steam is used to power a generator to produce electricity. The remaining ash is landfilled at the I-95 Landfill Complex.
