Incinerator protest at York's Guildhall
Posted April 10th, 2007 by AnonymousA seven-foot incinerator chimney will be belching out smoke at York Mansion House / The Guildhall as Councillors arrive to debate waste incineration.
They will hear a motion to oppose any form of incineration of York's municipal waste.
What will they decide? Where in North Yorkshire do they want to build an incinerator? Who is in favour of burning our waste rather than recycling it?
Let's smoke 'em out!

Waste Incineration
Posted June 11th, 2006 by AnonymousIncinerate OR recycle
If an incinerator is built, the City of York Council and North Yorkshire County Councils will have to sign a contract tying us into burning a certain amount of waste for a number of years. Yet at the same time the Councils want us to reduce the amount of waste we produce in the first place.
Waste going into an incinerator has to include flammable materials such as paper and plastics, otherwise it simply would not burn. But those materials could and should be recycled. You can't have a successful waste reduction and waste incineration programme going at the same time.
