Post-collection recycling and landfilling. <br /> <br />Post-collection separation recycling, mass-burn with <br />steam production and landfilling. <br /> <br />Post-collection separation recycling, mass-burn with <br />electricity production and landfilling. <br /> <br />Post-collection separation recycling, fluidized-bed <br />combustion with steam production and landfilling. <br /> <br /> Tables E-2 and E-3 present advantages and disadvantages of <br />source separation recycling and post-collection separation <br />recycling.
