Up until about 18 months ago .... we always sent our trash to a waste to energy incinerator. It had a pretty good environmental record. The reason it closed was because it had been in operation for 35 years and everything there had worn out. The future of the plant is a bit uncertain but the new owners claim that they are rebuilding the plant with the intention of using the new pyrolitic incineration process. It's hard to say. On the one hand it may be the real deal. On the other hand .... it may just be another scam.



Here in Maine ... they have been using recycled plastics to make decking and trim boards for the outside of buildings for ten or fifteen years now. It's kind of expensive to buy but i liked working with it. It's a durable and low maintenance building material. I wouldn't have any problem recommending it.
