Public consultation is starting over plans to process non-recyclable waste in north Wales, possibly building an incineration plant.
Two sites in Deeside and Anglesey have been earmarked in the £800m project.
Officials say nothing has been finalised and all ideas are being considered.
They are holding talks with residents across the region, starting at Holyhead on Friday.
North Wales' five main councils have joined forces and invited firms to draw up plans for processing plants like incinerators to deal with waste currently put into landfill.
They expect it will process more than 150,000 tonnes of waste a year in a project costing an estimated £800m over 25 years.
Flintshire council is taking the lead among the group made up of authorities covering Anglesey, Gwynedd, Conwy, and Denbighshire.
The partnership is called the North Wales Residual Waste Treatment Project (NWRWTP).
