It was a deal that was supposed to turn Glendale’s trash into revenue for the city and its partner Vieste Energy through recycling and converting garbage to electricity.
But so far, the city’s October 2012 agreement with Vieste has only generated a flurry of legal filings. Vieste’s $30 million recycling facility sits idle near the city landfill at 115th and Glendale avenues.
The trash war of words started in February with Chicago-based Vieste filing a claim against Glendale seeking $200 million in damages.
