Mustang, in collaboration with the Escambia County and Emerald Coast Utilities Authority ("ECUA"), is in the process of developing a Resource Recovery Project that would process municipal solid waste (MSW) currently disposed at the County-owned and -operated Perdido Landfill.  This project includes facilities that would sort, separate, and recover recyclables and organics.  This project would reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions from landfilling, helping Escambia County to achieve Florida's statewide recycling goal of 75% by 2020.
