Why do you guys get excited about burning things that could be reused or recycled? Personally I think it's not a good thing to do (apart from the health hazzard of the PM2.5's, the waste of resourses, the damage to tourism, etc, etc) as more jobs are created in recycling. And on the subject of misrepresentation... the lorry carrying the waste to the incinerator has the recycling 'three arrow triangle' logo on it. They don't have any right to use that logo - It's being burned. End of the line.

Nice to see this video as I watched them build the facility, and live just 7-8 minutes from it. I heard before them shipped the waste out of town north somewhere.

Good video! I don't see the waste moving during the combustion. Only the top part of it burns. How do they stir it, is it on reciprocating moving grates? How complete is the combustion?
