New aims to be laid before Tynwald
A new strategy on dealing with rubbish is more about practical advice than bold slogans, according to the Infrastructure Minister.
The Department's new Waste Strategy is being laid before Tynwald on Tuesday (17 July).
It's a revised version of an existing strategy, which proposed the nation should become a 'Zero Waste Island' by the year 2020.
The new Waste Strategy seeks a 'more realistic' approach with increased emphasis on kerbside recycling, annual waste audits, and preventing jams at the incinerator.
It comes as the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture is formulating its separate strategy on single-use plastics.
Ray Harmer believes the new aims are achievable:
Politicians debating Rosalind Ranson investigation
Custody officers say more could have been done to keep prisoner safe
SPC says it does 'all it can' to ensure sailings are 'safe and comfortable'
Chief minister hands over Covid review to Tynwald
Almost two tonnes of meat disposed of at Meat Plant this month
Date for first sailing to new Liverpool terminal still unknown
