Using very expensive state of the technology, the bonfire in a can is being brought on-line to burn municipal solid waste from the nearby urban sprawls and wherever else the in putters wish to haul it from.
Capable of generating approximately 200 kilograms of mildly toxic ash/ceramics/metal per tonne ignited, the plant is being marketed as a ‘zero landfill’ option which it is hoped will become financially viable when landfill tax hits the £56.00 - £64.00 per te figure over the next two years.
Doubtless the airlines operating from Heathrow have all been assured that cleaning soot from their Jumbo Jet windscreens will not be an issue – if you can fly through an Icelandic ash cloud then coming into Houndslow shouldn’t be a problem.
It’s legally compliant, it’s not landfill as we know it Jim and it’s being operated by a respectable company – this must be a good news story then?
There are alternatives – see here.

It seem that more people are now burning rubbish, not garden waste; wood or paper but plastics, twice this summer I have returned home to toxic smoke around my house. This must be illegal, if not it should be.
People should take their waste to the public tip, not burn it.
Gideon, what do you think about travellers who steal cables and then burn off the insulation so they can get paid for the metal
Hello WA
The theft of cable is an area for the Police but as far as I'm aware the Police don't prosecute travellers as it's too much like hard work.
The acceptance of the metal content by a metal recycler like SIMS, A1 Wokingham Metals, EMR or other without a fully completed Waste Transfer Note is simply 'bent' business - as you mentioned the other day, they're being a 'fence'.
This is obviously about the massive Grundon incinerator that we've been opposing since day one - http://www.wlfoet5.demon.co.uk/waste/incin/colnbrook/colnlatest.htm - it's a disgrace that this shit got built!
Hello Gary
I've never heard of Grundon I'm afraid.
