 Cornwall faces a mounting rubbish problem |
Restormel councillors are trying to come up with an alternative to the building of one huge incinerator for the county's rubbish in their borough. They believe a plant composting Cornwall's garden and kitchen waste would drastically reduce the amount which needs to be burned.
They say they are "uncomfortable" at the thought of the incinerator appearing in the borough.
The incinerator is the preferred option for the county council.
Teams of councillors have already visited Devon and Somerset and set off soon for Neath in Wales and Hampshire.
They will examine Hampshire's idea of smaller incinerators dotted around the county, cutting down on the distance the waste is hauled.
They are also considering a composting plant which they reckon would greatly increase recycling and reduce the size of any incinerator.
