We had the public acceptance issue in the 1970s and 1980s. In the 1970s our dumps filled up, and we didn't have any more space to add any more, so there was a move to incineration in the 1980s, which stopped in the 1990s because the public opposition was too strong. The government turned to a very detailed and intricate system of recycling. Now we have very low rates of waste that actually have to be dumped. We might have a trash export problem. It's something that's not very openly discussed, so I'm not sure there is none, but there might be one. But we also have very intricate recycling systems.
