Anyone up on waste treatmentMK Council are soliciting the opinions of the population on Waste management. One question is:
Priorities for considering treatment facilities
Due to new legislation, even if we recycled or composted as much as we can, the rubbish left over will still need to be treated before it can be landfilled.
When considering the treatment facilities for the rubbish left over, what should the council's priorities be? Please look at the list of possible considerations below, and mark with a cross the 5 which are the most important to you.
That the treatment facility:
Includes extra recycling
generates electricity from rubbish
is of a size to treat rubbish only from Milton Keynes
is of a size as necessary to get economies of scale
reduces the rubbish for landfilling as much as possible
costs as little as possible
is as unobtrusive as possible
reduces pollution as much as possible
has as few traffic movements to and from the facility as possible
redices climate change as much as possible
creates jobs
uses as little energy as possible
has technology that is well established and understood
can cope with future changes in rubbish legislation
is close to where the rubbish is collected
can meet all targets as soon as possible
other
Anyone know what I should vote for?
Peter.

I think its a jolly good question.
And very nice indeed that the council should be asking their constituents what the priorities ought to be.
I hope they publish a breakdown of the results they get...
