Incinerate or Chemical & Biological Treatment Do I really need it? Recycle Reuse Reduce Can I borrow it? Can I get it used?

Incinerate or Chemical & Biological Treatment Recycle Reuse Reduce Best Not the Best America’s Approach

Recycling Pros & Cons Mixed Solid Waste Separation Source Separation

About 7% About 50% About 40%

ProsCons No burning Low odor Relatively cheap Methane production for electricity Noise & traffic Dust pollution Methane & CO 2 Hazardous leachate Only good for yrs. NIMBY

Anaerobic Bioreactor

Hazardous Waste Disposal

Waste to Energy

ProsCons Reduce trash volume Less landfill space Less water pollution Air pollution Toxic ash (fly ash & bottom ash) *Burning batteries releases lead
