I agree with Mr. Cardoso. That present management is so screwed up, caring about their profits and overlooking compliances on safety, health and environment.
Certainly hope the new operator Coventa send their new team and are more compliant than the curren ones.
Good riddance Veolia management team… your turn to be in the EI line.

The incineration is a good idea, but the management team does not behave as a good corporate citizens. The forgo safety, health and environment to production, thus profitability. Their reporting system is flawed and there are no third party to monitor them. They have a sweet deal of 25 years or more, which they carted tons of money from Vancouvorites to USA and France. Get rid of them.

How can I find out where to ship my rubber waste to one of these waste to energy plants? We generate approx. 300 tons per year that goes to land fill.

Buring garbage is the largest contributor of dioxins. Dioxins and furans are some of the most toxic chemicals known to science.

I wish these would catch on, as seen in Popular Science March 2007.

the use of incinerator generators are multi fold:
(1) minimizes the impact on the envinorment
(2) minimizes the use of fossil fuel 2 run electric plants
(3)condensing waste and making use of it the same time
are reality is as long as we live we will generate waste, so why not use it to are benefit
