I suppose that it saves the cost of processing it, but in this case it would probably be far better in land fill.
"The fire has been blamed on Chinese lanterns that dropped on the plastics."
Interesting to know how they knew.

CCTV.
I'm surprised something like this hasn't already happened. They always struck me as a disaster waiting to happen. There have been issues with cattle eating the remains of them too.
One fire might be an accident, two would be careless, but 15 fires?
Clearly the method of storing of inflammable plastic should be re-examined.
"Mr Randeniya said it was the 15th fire at a waste-transfer station in the West Midlands this year and said he was calling for a meeting with its operators."
So just the one fire due to Chinese lanterns?
Lifeboats have also been called out when the lanterns were mistaken for distress flares.

They had a cctv camera on it apparently. Brian
