Incineration

Just like everything else in life there are pros and cons to incineration.
It is the best way to sterilize.
It can break down some toxic waste compounds.
It has a good waste reduction ratio.
It may be possible for the combustion to produce enough heat so as not to require fuel.
The ash may be difficult to dispose of as it may be prone to leaching toxic compounds.
Scrubbing the exhaust is becoming more expensive and difficult.

Done properly under the direction of a PE there should be no difference. See Ontario Canada MOE report
However, using landfill as a burn site will release choride gases and if wet garbage is dumped in a land fill you'll get a leachate plume. Modern (European technology) prevents this but hasn't caught on much in North America that still dump and covers.see
The danger to the public is that all too often that engineers are excluded or that engineers aspire to sexier topics.
