The one at Crymlyn Burrows in Neath Port Talbot was a disaster. The council are suing their advisers over it. They had to take over the company after it went bust. http://www.swanseafoe.org.uk/crymlyn-burrows-incinerator-part1.html These incinerator schemes do not have a good record in Wales.

"A market testing exercise has been carried out and there has been a great deal of interest from a number of companies offering different technological solutions. No site or technology has yet been agreed. It is essential that the infrastructure is put in place to deal with the long term solution to waste, as landfill operations are not a sustainable option." Any further comments anyone? The following has been posted on behalf of Project Gwyrdd:
