Scam Gwyrdd = Massive Incinerator = Turning a Resource into a Problem

Cardiff, Caerphilly, Newport, Monmouthshire, Vof G Councils want a big burner which Ties them into a very expensive PFI for 25 YEARS to burn waste rather than improve recycling rates. The Prosiect Gwyrdd councils are striving towards a feeble 65% recycling by 2025 with at least a further 5% being ASH from the incinerator. Many other councils have already exceeded 70% recyling rates. “Prosiect Gwyrdd” = Scam Green = WAG Welsh Waste Policy = incinerators
