How do we deal with the vast amounts of rubbish we produce? The Scottish Government is to announce a new national waste strategy today. But how can they achieve the 'zero waste' policy they're committed too? The emphasis is likely to shift from land-fill to incinerators which would create energy from burning rubbish. Do you live near one of Scotland's two existing incinerators in Shetland or Dundee? Perhaps you live near Abernethy where a new one is being planned? And do we need to take recycling a lot more seriously to reduce the amounts of rubbish we produce? Gary Robertson takes your calls, texts and emails.
