Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The review addresses the long-term viability of current waste management infrastructure, including the century-old Woonsocket plant. The facilities in Woonsocket and Cranston are critical for incinerating thousands of tons of solid sewage waste annually. The panel's work aims to secure future treatment options given the current capacity strains.
