For what it's worth, incinerating garbage is widely used in Switzerland/Germany. When done well (which is hard and expensive), it's a good way to generate energy without polluting the environment.

Basically, rather than burn petrol directly, you first turn it into plastic, so you can carry your yoghurt home, before you then use it as fuel.

What's not to like?? :-)

im talking specifically about waste that was supposed to be recycled. From the UK, the majority of it isn't. It's incinerated in China, or more and more, we send it to them and they send it back.
