 The bulk of Alderney's waste will be shipped to Guernsey |
A new eco-friendly group in Guernsey is hoping to encourage alternative ways of rubbish disposal on the island. Waste Action Group Guernsey (WAGG) hopes to encourage reducing waste, recycling and composting.
WAGG was formed by concerned islanders who think the need for a waste to energy plant should be re-assessed.
The Bailiwick currently only recycles 18% of its total waste, but the group believes that figure could be substantially increased.
WAGG thinks money spent on education and incentives would reduce the need for an expensive incinerator.
It believes the States should be researching alternatives to mass-burning technology as a way of disposing of the island's rubbish.
The group is calling on islanders to make their views known to the new panel formed to re-assess waste disposal in Guernsey.
