AN incinerator for rubbish should be built at James Street. The advantages would be huge. Things incinerated would be plastic packaging, modern nappies and pernicious weeds.
Although we are putting more of these things in our wheelie bins they are not suitable for landfill because they will never rot in 100 years. After incineration there would be a smaller volume of waste to go to landfill.
Would this save the council money in landfill tax? The incinerator could power a hot water and electricity power station.
So what do the professors of physics at York University say? Is there enough rubbish in York to make electricity?
