Scotland will not have enough incinerators to handle black bag waste before landfill ban comes into force at end of year

A landfill ban in Scotland could see up to 100 truckloads of waste being moved to England each day due to a lack of incinerators being available to meet extra demand.
At the end of this year, the Scottish government will enforce a ban on “black bag” waste from being buried in landfill sites, but not enough energy-from-waste sites will be ready by the 31 December deadline.
