Despite the strong support, the debate could be complicated because the city is so reliant on Wheelabrator to dispose of its trash. Only about 20 percent of city waste is tossed into recycling bins, and of what is tossed into the trash, about four-fifths goes to the incinerator. The rest of the trash, along with incinerator ash, goes to the city’s Quarantine Road landfill in Hawkins Point, which has 17 percent of its capacity remaining and is expected to fill up by 2027.
