To burn or not to burn

Article Abstract:

Local and state governments are at odds over which solid waste recovery schemes to adopt. Some agencies, particularly those from the East Coast, espouse incineration because of their substantial investments in such a scheme while others support composting and recycling which are relatively less expensive. In the past, it was hoped that local governments would pursue recycling and composting as a main solid waste recovery approach and supplement them with incineration.
