This paper by Roger S. Hecklinger is a good contribution to the understanding of municipal solid waste combustion. The traditional test methods used on residue testing were summarized in a clear manner. Mr. Hecklinger describes sampling problems using coal and coke ash testing methods, which are similar to those experienced in testing the solid waste itself for its fuel content. The author gives several comments regarding the importance of the sampling program. This article also contains the original author`s reply to the comments and questions.
