We could summarise the general attitude of individuals to this as being that they want to produce as much waste as they can, that they want the local authority to remove it for nothing and that they do not want a dump or incinerator near where they live. That is a reasonable summary of most people's position, but it is totally untenable. As stated on Second Stage, landfill is much more environmentally damaging than disposing of waste by heat; provided the temperatures are high enough and the combustion is complete there are minimal risks. At the Sillot Hill landfill site in Kildare, gases got into underground strata and people had to be evacuated from their houses. That was within two miles of the Liffey, a source of drinking water for Dublin. Such crazy things cannot continue.
