An alternative to plain incineration is plasma gasification which has some advantages: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_gasification https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_gasification I talked to the local waste trucking company about it and was told that to build a plasma gasification plant would require handling the trash from several New England states to make it economical.
