1. Waste is dumped from garbage trucks into a large pit.
2. A giant claw on a crane grabs waste and dumps it into a combustion chamber.
3. The waste (fuel) is burned, releasing heat.
4. The heat turns water into steam in a boiler.
5. The high-pressure steam turns the blades of a turbine generator to produce electricity.
6. An air-pollution control system removes pollutants from the combustion gas before it is released through a smoke stack.
7. Ash is collected from the boiler and the air-pollution control system.
