Costs involved in waste disposal are substantial—in 1980 the cost of handling Europe's 1000 million tons of refuse was £1200 million and it is estimated that the weight of refuse is growing at a rate of 3 to 4 per cent pa. It has been found that the cost of disposing of all of this waste can be broken down roughly as follows: collection 70 per cent, transport 10 per cent and treatment 20 per cent.
