Just because the US government built some space age facility to burn deadly chemicals safely does not mean by any stretch that the same technology will be in play in podunk Hilo. The for profit company that gets kenois contract will cut as many corners as possible in order to maximize their profit. If you burn plastic you get dioxin. Dioxin is an endocrin disrupter, it causes birth defects among other serious health issues. I worked on incinerators in Sacramento, representing the health interests of the State and they were still dangerous last time I checked(which wasnt the 1970's btw).
