Scotland's Trash: A New Plan for Waste

Starting December 31st, Scotland will ban burying biodegradable trash in landfills, prompting a significant shift in waste management.

To handle the excess, approximately 100 truckloads of waste will be transported daily to England for processing, a temporary measure.

This decision stems from environmental concerns over methane emissions from landfills, necessitating a more sustainable solution.

While incineration is a less harmful alternative, concerns remain regarding the logistical challenges and environmental impact of transportation.
