Revision history [back]

Practical Action Consulting were involved in a projects some years ago which was focused on the implementation and assessment of MSW incinerators for developing countries, see https://answers.practicalaction.org/our-resources/collection/low-cost-incinerator-for-urban-5. I understand this was similar in design to the De Montford medical waste incinerator mentioned in other responses but intended to replace open burning of waste thus reducing the biological hazard of rubbish piles and reduce the emissions of harmful gases, although it does not eliminate these emissions.

And to reiterate other comments made, the waste should be separated if possible so that valuable elements such as metals can be sorted and sold on but as an interim step the incinerator may be a suitable.
