There remains a considerable annual production of industrial,

governmental and residential waste, some of which is highly toxic.

A program and facility to treat and destroy that waste is as vital a part of

an economic infrastructure as roads, electrical grids and other utilities.

The Swan Hills Treatment Centre provides Alberta and Canada with this

essential service, ensuring that the hazardous wastes that are produced

by today’s society that can not be reduced, reused, recycled or recovered

are effectively treated and destroyed.

All waste that is energetic/organic can be used as alternative energy to

reduce natural gas consumption. The SHTC can use energetic waste

while treating other wastes. The preferred strategy is the treatment and

elimination of financial and environmental liabilities.
