They don't. As I originally reported, link above, some coal ash is recycled. This stuff is too toxic. The answer to the first question is obvious. They don’t.

And if not, why?" If they don't, they're going to dump it somewhere and that will cause problems for whoever lives nearby, whether it's in Alabama or Utah or Nevada. Some smart individual and/or environmental company out there needs to come up with a way to render coal ash, and other similar wastes, non-toxic. Surely there is a market for that, especially if enough people raise hades about getting the stuff dumped near them.
