Answer to Question 1
The advantages of WTE facilities include reducing trash weight by over 70 and volume by 90, concentrating toxic or hazardous substances into two streams of ash, eliminating the need to change trash collection procedures or people's behavior, and generating electricity.
The disadvantages include MSW not burning cleanly, adverse health effects (especially from older or poorly managed facilities), cost to build the WTE facility, hazardous characteristics of the ash, options for MSW reduced, and resource and energy loss.
