Access is subject to change depending on the site's operational needs. Visitors currently have access to the landfill site between June 1-Sept. The engines weigh about 20 tons each, have 20 cylinders and produce more than 2,200 horsepower apiece. Each engine uses about 500 cubic feet of landfill gas per minute. Three engines inside the building can produce as much as 4.8 megawatts of electricity, or enough to power 2,800 homes. Methane, a greenhouse gas produced by the county's landfill, is converted into electricity that enters the power grid. The innovative technology demonstrates Sarasota County's commitment to clean energy and a sustainable future.

The Landfill Gas to Energy Facility at the CCSWDC is a joint project between Sarasota County and a private company, Landfill Energy Systems Florida (Aria Energy).
