Deputies tour waste sites ahead of debate

DEPUTIES have toured waste sites to understand better the issues of rubbish disposal and recycling.

Public Services organised the tour of the Longue Hougue recycling facility, Fontaine Vinery segregation site and Mont Cuet landfill before Wednesday’s States meeting debates its progress report. ‘I thought it might be helpful if members familiarised themselves with these three sites, especially Mont Cuet, which is our only tip and it’s filling up fast,’ said minister Bill Bell.

‘The States will have to decide before long the future of Guernsey’s waste disposal, so the more they know the better.’
