This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

Isn't incinerating trash bad though? Isn't it good that they're running out of trash to burn? The ashe produced still needs to be put in a landfill, so wouldn't these old landfills that will be dug up be refilled with the waste ash from the incineration process? For-profit waste management is a bad idea regardless... I don't even think this counts as recycling if you're just taking all the burnable trash and burning it. That said, it's clear to me the whole concept of "recycling" is a grift to begin with, since almost all of our waste is just sent over seas to be burned in conditions worse than this, like open burn pits. When you have as many people as China does, you probably have to use every method of disposal to keep up with the waste produced by the population.

Modern waste-to-energy technology is actually less polluting than coal or gas plants, and China is using waste ash for building materials as concrete alternative.

Well then, that's good to know!
