Friends of the earth have
thrown their support behind a campaign to close Nottingham’s Eastcroft
Incinerator and boost recycling instead.
Nottingham Against
Incineration and Landfill (NAIL) was launched on November 9.
NAIL wants the
incinerator off London Road phased out and more attention paid to schemes such
as kerbside collection of glass, paper and cans.
About 60% of the city’s
waste is currently incinerated at Eastcroft
Kelly Maklowicz, of
Nottingham Friends of the Earth, said “Its one of Friends of the Earth’s main
issues. We don’t want the fumes fro the incinerator”
“We want the council to
move quicker and provide kerbside collections of recyclable and compostable
waste”
The campaign is also supported by Nottingham South MP Alan Simpson.
