(2010) assessed the economic and environmental aspects of waste management options in the UK with focus on waste management targets and carbon prices, and the results were then compared with the conventional coal fired power systems. Comparisons were made through developing a social cost benefit analysis of recycling, energy recovery through landfill gas, incineration and coal power generation. The paper concluded that WTE is cost effective in comparison to a coal-fired plant, but the technology requires
well as the intermittent pollution associated with production. In addition, the re-used product is diverted from becoming waste, which is a major source of pollution. Community consultation is an integral part of the decision making process for the establishment of waste recycling. This information should be used as a tool when considering the placement of waste management facilities and during operation of those facilities. RECYCLING HELPS BUILD COMMUNITIES Most community
emissions are not as effective in terms of best practices therefore in order to counter such a pollution problem electric cars have been recommended.

According to A Rubbish Map, “the world’s cities currently generate around 1.3 billion tonnes of [municipal solid waste] a year”. This information shows that there is still
