The Portrack Incinerator was a municipal waste incinerator and waste-to-energy power station situated on the River Tees at Portrack in Stockton-on-Tees in County Durham, England.
The incinerator was opened in 1975 to burn the domestic waste of the four local authorities of Middlesbrough, Stockton on Tees, Redcar & Cleveland and Hartlepool.
It was praised as an environmentally friendly answer to waste management on Teesside.
The plant burned approximately 200,000 tonnes of waste every year and had the potential capacity to generate 20 megawatts of electricity although it never actually did so.
Ash from the incinerator was sent to landfill and ferrous metal baled and sold on as scrap.
During the 1980s, a former quarry at Whitton was used as a site to dump the incinerator's ash.
