PersonallyI think incinerators are a much better idea than the alternative, which is landfill sites.
Don't believe the crap about being able to increase recycling. Some stuff, you just can't recycle. It is just rubbish, and it's better to burn it, recover some energy and release carbon dioxide than stick it in a hole, let it leach highly acidic water that has to be pumped out and treated, and give off methane, a far more potent greehouse gas and a risk to nearby buildings as it can migrate and explode.

^fucking thisA lot of the stuff you can recycle doesn't really do much good anyway. Aluminium is the only thing you'll get massive energy savings from. That's not to say recycling stuff is bad but the energy argument for it is often flawed.
