EN22 - Total weight of waste by type and disposal method
AEP manages its waste via recycling, reusing or properly disposing, with the intention of causing no harm to the environment. We do not track the total weight of the general refuse but we do track special waste streams, such as hazardous wastes, polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) and other products that have serious environmental consequences if not properly disposed.
These numbers were gathered from 71 individual facilities / plants across the system and several of our vendors. We are confident that these numbers are close to actuals, but cannot say that they represent every pound / gallon of material d disposed and / or recycled.
