Toshima Incineration Plant

The Toshima Incineration Plant (豊島清掃工場) is a incineration
Toshima Incineration Plant
plant located in Kami-ikebukuro, Toshima, Tokyo, Japan.[1] It covers an
area of 12,000 square meters and has two incineration units with a
combined capacity of 400 tons of waste per day.[2]

The plant was constructed with a large fitness center in order to

appease area residents who may have otherwise opposed its
construction. The center's swimming pool is heated from burning
garbage while electricity is supplied from a steam-driven turbine. The
plant outputs 7,800kW of electricity, enough to supply 20,000
homes.[3]

The plant's smokestack, at 210 meters in height, is the tallest industrial

chimney in the special wards of Tokyo and was constructed in order for
exhaust from the plant to clear the nearby 239-meter Sunshine 60
building.[4]
