Which types of waste are suitable for incineration?

Incineration is an option for disposing of many waste types. Incinerators typically burn waste such as:

Municipal solid Waste, such as food and household waste

Hazardous Industrial Wastes such as Medical and Chemical Waste

There are other waste streams that generate high volumes, such as construction debris

Incinerators are fed only with non-hazardous waste if they have been properly sorted at the landfill. Incinerators designed for hazardous wastes are equipped with additional safety measures.
