DeKalb County’s yard waste is on its way to be turned into energy. The county commission voted 6-1 Tuesday to sell its wood chips, grass clippings and yard waste to Green Energy Partners LLC. Green Partners plans to build a $50 million biomass plant in Lithonia. The yard waste, along with cooking oil and greases, will be burned and turned into electricity. The company hopes to contract with Georgia Power, said Green Energy managing director Neville Anderson. Find this article here.
