Incinerators are industrial facilities used for the controlled burning of waste materials. The largest incinerators are used to burn municipal solid wastes, often in concert with a technology that utilizes the heat produced during combustion to generate electricity. Smaller, more specialized incinerators are used to burn medical wastes, general chemical wastes such as organic solvents, and toxic wastes such as polychlorinated biphenyls and other chlorinated hydrocarbons.

I have to write an essay on incinerating from the viewpoint of a director of an incinerating company, including the advantages and disadvantages of it on the enviroment and the economy. There is not a lot on it here at all, and I did not find it helpful at all. I would be good if you put in some pros and cons on the subject. Thanks!
