I Frequently read in The Argus objections to the proposed incinerator at Newhaven. But few alternative ways to recycle are ever discussed.
Most household waste can be composted, capturing its carbon and reducing climate change, while incinerator waste generates considerable greenhouse gases.
Some councils have adopted composting, as the resulting compost is a good source of income and is valued by farmers.
Objectors to the incinerator should persuade councillors to compost.
