Instead of an incinerator why aren't the products "milled"? Cellulose separated, ferrous-non ferrous, grease and so on. Why send metals into atmosphere when they can be industrial feedstocks? There is so much technology now on separation by not only the old techniques of specific gravity, magnetic separation and manual sorting but electrostatics and other methods that separate plastics from paper etc. Waste should have a high value per ton of select materials. Maybe we are looking at too simple a solution. Burning and generating steam is from beginning of industrial revolution. High button shoe technology.

In case I've missed something through the years, since when does the immanent threat of carcinogens being created in the combustion furnace, and the inevitable release of heavy metals and carcinogens into the atmosphere become grounds for opponents to be deemed "ignorant, stupid, or paid?" And since when do residents who prefer not to have a fifty or sixty trucks filled, stinking and dripping with trash come through their idealic settings from all corners of the neighboring boroughs automatically qualify as "ignorant, stupid or paid?" And since when should residents be forced to accept incoming trash from surrounding areas when the operator inevitably discovers that not enough trash is being generated in the area immediate to the incinerator? And since when should residents be forced to compromise away their recycling programs or hopes of programs in order to insure that there is enough feedstock for an incinerator and meet the written guarantee of the contract made with politicians? (See Leesburg, Florida's so called "Waste to Energy" municipal waste incinerator.) And since when should residents be forced to deal with the fly ash, laden with heavy metals and carcinogens, enough so as to qualify as Hazardous Waste in the US? Seems as if some of these residents might be a good bit more intelligent than some on this list give them credit for.
