GUERNSEY has finally committed to the export of waste and high levels of recycling some 20 years after deciding that an alternative to landfill was needed.

GUERNSEY’S States has given the green light to export of the island’s waste.

PUBLIC Services was backing on-island incineration just a few weeks before it finalised its waste proposals, it emerged yesterday.

HISTORY is in danger of repeating itself.

ALTERNATIVE waste solution campaigners will bide their time till cracks appear in Public Services’ new strategy before promoting their ideas again, it has emerged.

STATES members will not stall on proposals for a revised waste strategy after years of suffering from ‘waste fatigue’, a Public Services deputy has said.

FOOD waste would need to be picked up regularly – possibly even daily – if kerbside collections were brought in, said people responding to the Public Services Department’s waste proposals.

ISLANDERS will begrudge having to pay more to get rid of their waste, Mont Cuet recyclers have said.

HOUSEHOLDS could end up paying £180 a year as part of proposals for a new £180m. waste strategy.

JERSEY’S politicians will have the final say over whether Guernsey can ship its non-recyclable waste to its incinerator, its Transport and Technical Services minister has said.
