In today’s throw-away society,dealing with the city’s growing mountain of waste is an increasing challenge for the city council(市议会).
Recently,Edinburgh is faced with the problem of disposing of(处理)about 250,000 million tons of waste a year.Despite different ways to dispose of much of it in a green manner — largely through encouraging recycling — its aging facilities such as the Powder hall landfill do not have the ability to deal with it.
The European Union (EU) has issued a new policy,regulating how such mountains of waste are to be disposed of.The five councils ( Edinburgh,East Lothian,West Lothian,Midlothian and Borders ) face fines around £18 million a year from 2013 if they don’t increase recycling levels and rely less on landfill.With this in mind,the councils got together with the idea of building a large incinerator plant(垃圾焚烧厂)to burn half of the waste produced in their districts.But this plan fell apart after the change of target levels by a new UK government waste policy which required that no more than 25% of the city’s waste should be disposed of in this way by 2025.
After the plan was abandoned,a private company which already transported millions of tons of the city’s waste by train to a landfill site near Dunbar,offered an alternative solution when it suggested opening a huge waste site near Portobello.
Since Powder hall is supposed to close in 2015,it seemed necessary for the members of the Edinburgh Council to accept the suggestion.But soon they turned it down — after 700 local objections reached them — because it would have meant hundreds of lorries a day making loud noise through heavily populated areas.
That still leaves the council with a problem.By 2013,only 50% of 1995 levels of waste will be allowed to be sent to landfill.Even if recycling targets are met,there will still be a large amount of rubbish to be burnt up.Due to this,Edinburgh and Midlothian councils have now decided to work together to build an incinerator plant as time to find a solution is fast running out.
在今天的社会生活,面对城市日益增长的废物堆是一个日益严重的挑战,市议会.
最近,爱丁堡面临的问题,处理约250000000000吨废一年.尽管不同的方式来处理多在一个绿色的方式主要是通过鼓励回收利用的设施老化等粉馆填埋没有能力解决它.
欧洲联盟颁布了一项新的政策,调节这种山废物进行处置.五个委员会(爱丁堡,东洛锡安,西洛锡安,洛锡安及边境)面临罚款约£每年18000000 2013如果他们不增加循环水平和较少依赖填埋.有鉴于此,委员会一起构建大型焚烧厂燃烧产生的废物,一半的地区.但这一计划告吹后,目标的变化水平的英国政府的新政策,要求不超过25%的城市废物应以这种方式处理2025.
之后的计划被放弃,一个私营公司已运送数百万吨城市污水乘火车到垃圾填埋场附近的邓巴,提供了一个替代解决方案时,它建议开启一个巨大的垃圾场附近的波托贝洛.
由于粉末厅应该接近2015,似乎有必要为成员的爱丁堡议会接受这个建议.但很快他们拒绝了- 700后当地居民反对他们-因为这将意味着几百辆卡车一天大声喧哗,在人口稠密的地区.
还有一个问题的委员会.2013,只有50%的1995个层次的废物将被允许被送到垃圾填埋.即使回收达到目标,仍然会有大量的垃圾被烧了.由于这一点,爱丁堡中洛锡安郡议会已决定共同建立一个焚烧厂时间找到一个解决方案的快速运行.
