Veolia Environmental Services say: An Energy from Waste Facility uses rubbish which is not separated for recycling or composting to generate energy whilst reducing the waste volume by 90%. The remaining ash can be recycled as a construction material. The facility proposed would be able to process about 90,000 tonnes a year of residual waste, generating enough electricity, to power about 10,000 homes. Shropshire still needs to consistently achieve high recycling rates in order to achieve the goal of only 5% landfill. This facility is designed to complement and not compromise recycling and composting. This http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3772240 shows a later stage of the construction.
