issues. In a large Canadian metropolitan area it is relatively simple to sort solid waste into several streams to_x000D_
maximize recycling and minimize the use to expensive landfill for all but a limited stream of material that_x000D_
cannot be recycled or composted. In remote Northern communities recycling waste is often impractical due to_x000D_
the costs and limited transportation options. Winter roads for a few months a year and air travel being the_x000D_
extent of transportation options in many parts of the North. Having the ability to dispose of all combustible_x000D_
waste with a single appliance such as the MAGTM system has a number of advantages and benefits over_x000D_
current processes and practices both in larger communities and in more remote locations._x000D_
In this project we are invetigating the feasibility of the MAGTM auto gasification system for the disposal of all_x000D_
