Waste Management.
4:00 pm
John Gormley (Dublin South East, Green Party)
It is clear that Government policy in this area has changed in many aspects. I have introduced various regulations including, for example, provision to ensure that we increase the amount of waste collected from food outlets. That regulation will be enacted in June. We have clearly stated that incineration will no longer be the cornerstone of policy.

$200M incinerator deal took Lake to cleaners, critics say
February 15, 2009|By Martin E. Comas, Sentinel Staff Writer
OKAHUMPKA -- It's a deal that many have called the biggest boondoggle in Lake's history because when the bonds are paid off for the Covanta Energy garbage-burning plant in June 2014, the county will not own the plant.
It's also a deal that forced higher garbage rates and taxes on residents and businesses to cover all those costs.
Because of today's slumping economy, it's particularly painful.
