Incineration is a practical method of disposal that saves a lot of money on transport of waste to landfills and thus also the carbon footprint that such transport leaves behind. The sheer reduction in the space required to dispose of the 10 percent of waste that it does produce relieves pressure on land, which in urban areas can constitute a big saving. Landfills have never been a pretty site and also give rise to a lot of pests and insects. An incinerating plant will look like any other industrial structure. Waste to Energy (WTE) incinerating plants have a huge advantage that they can produce electricity which in the long run can help to reduce costs. A 250 ton per day incinerator can produce 6.5 megawatts of electricity per day and this itself can save about $3 million per year. Some cold countries also use the heat from incinerators for heating of offices and houses in locations near the plant.
