Have a good day all.
Don’t you have a recycling station you can take things to?

Re: Good morning Saturday
No fault detected with the car, and no charge made.Ullabi, near where I lived in London, was a massive waste management plant. The chimney can be seen for miles. As they used to deliver garden compost to our allotment, some of us could book a tour, and I went one day with a couple from our site. The rubbish is brought in from various councils, weighed, and off loaded into huge bins. We were then shown into the furnace room where several members looked at lots of computers, and cameras, keeping an eye on the burning. We were given a little lunch and watched a video. It was an interesting visit.
I believe they no longer deliver compost to allotments, more to general sites for the public to get to, first come first served. The tour even included the open bins where waste was left stewing, to make the compost.
So in answer to your question, rubbish can be burnt, if there are the facilities to do so.

Here we have a central recycling station where we can take almost everything from grass cuttings to old white goods and put in the appropriate skips for recycling. So we sort our rubbish at home. Anything that can’t be recycled or used for compost is collected by the dustman and goes to the local power station and is burned to generate electricity. We contribute to that with about one carrier bag every two weeks. So I guess in our household we recycle about 99 percent of our rubbish in oneway or another.
