    Waste burning at least seems to make sense, if its not burnt its only going to go into landfill and emit methane.

      That’s actually fine if the landfill has methane extraction systems. The methane can be used to generate electricity

      Except, the plant is sized to burn around 8x the amount of household waste produced in the city and regionally, there already are enough waste-burning plants for the current amount of household waste, making this a bet on a foreseeable race to the bottom.
