A new Covanta energy from waste facility in the Durham Region of Ontario.
As garbage landfills fall out of favor and recycling programs struggle to handle all of the trash, some cities and counties are beginning to rethink incineration. An emerging solution: Waste-to-energy facilities, incinerators that convert garbage into energy. While newer to the U.S., they are common in Europe. Proponents of these plants argue that these incinerators have state-of-the-art pollution controls and emit less greenhouse gases than landfills. But these facilities are expensive, often costing more than $1 billion. And some environmentalists warn these facilities still emit mercury, lead and other pollution.
