Householders in favour of incineration in waste crisis

MORE people in Waterford support incineration than sending their waste to landfill sites, a new survey shows.

Two thirds of people in the county surveyed in a poll organised by Fine Gael deputy, John Deasy, say they support incineration. Just under half support waste going to landfills, the survey of 2,000 homes shows.

Waterford is in the midst of a waste crisis, with its landfill in Dungarvan closed and the Tramore site closing at the end of this year.
