Casella Waste Systems and Waga Energy Announce Start of Operations of RNG Facility at Hyland Landfill

Casella Waste Systems and Waga Energy launched operations at the RNG facility at Hyland Landfill in Angelica, New York on July 28, 2026.
This project is the second of three RNG initiatives developed by the partners to go online, following the Chemung County facility.
The facility utilizes Waga Energy's patented WAGABOX technology to convert landfill gas into pipeline-quality RNG.
With a capacity of 3,000 SCFM, the site can generate up to 610,000 MMBtu (180 GWh) of renewable gas annually.
The produced RNG is injected into the Eastern Gas Transmission and Storage network to supply the region with a renewable alternative to fossil natural gas.
The project is projected to avoid 47,000 tons of CO₂-equivalent emissions annually under EPA standards.
Waga Energy fully funded the construction, owns the facility, and will operate it for 20 years while sharing revenue from RNG sales with Casella.
The Hyland project is expected to qualify for incentives under the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act.
