To see and learn first-hand how this is done, the public and media are invited to tour a renewable landfill gas to energy (LFG) plant at the Prince William County Landfill during Prince William County Recycles Day on Saturday, October 14 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Fortistar, the owner and operator of Prince William Energy LFG plant, is a sponsor of the event and will be hosting free tours of the facility.
