In a revised Planning Application submitted by Waste Recycling Group this week (don't be fooled by the name), Nottingham could become the industrial waste dustbin of the Midlands.

WRG plan to import an additional 100,000 tonnes of waste a year until 2066, to be burnt in the heart of our city. this will be imported from Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Yorkshire and Derbyshire. This is on top of the 150,000 tonnes of waste they already burn each year.

This poses a significant threat to human health and the environment through the release of heavy metals, toxic gases and global warming pollution.

Join our campaign to stop this expansion and call for more recycling, we until 14 September to air our views.
