Burning waste might be a good idea as it would avoid methane being produced which is 20X worse than CO2 as a GHG. Plus, it would avoid the problem that Castletown is having right now, plus it would avoid buying or compulsory buying land for burial, plus it would produce heating for homes. All in all it would give waste a marketable value (as fuel) which will mitigate any concil tax increases (if it is managed correctly ).
I think the benefits will still outweigh the disadvantages even if waste is going to be used as fuel.

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.
