An improved system is provided for the incineration of refuse, especially scrapped automobile and truck tires and the treatment of incineration exhaust gasses as produced thereby. The refuse is incinerated in a closed fire box at controlled temperatures with the incineration exhaust gasses being serially treated by filtration, after-burning, washing with water by use of both a water bath and a water spray, washing with a petroleum based solvent, and cooling to a temperature below the freezing point of water. Filtration is carried out by a self-cleaning apparatus. A combined apparatus is used to carry out both the water bath and water spray with the resultant gasses being acceptable for release into the atmosphere.
