Best Answer

Electricity can be produced by burning "municipal solid waste" (MSW)

as a fuel. MSW power plants, also called waste to energy (WTE) plants,

are designed to dispose of MSW and to produce electricity as a

byproduct of the incinerator operation.

"The term MSW describes the stream of solid waste ("trash" or

"garbage") generated by households and apartments, commercial

establishments, industries and institutions. MSW consists of everyday

items such as product packaging, grass clippings, furniture, clothing,

bottles, food scraps, newspapers, appliances, paint and batteries. It

does not include medical, commercial and industrial hazardous or

radioactive wastes, which must be treated separately."
