This budget was an eye opener on how warped the world view up the hill really is. So I'll ask again... is it true that plastics are being disposed of in the incinerator? If not, do you have the handling and disposal data, ie. how many tonnes or cbm of plastic waste has been exported to wherever for further processing & recycling? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if you put plastic in your grey wheelie bin. Otherwise bottles, PET 1,Pe-HD 02 and PP5 plastics go to Yorkshire for recycling. https://www.recyclenow.im/where-does-your-recycling-go/ https://www.gov.im/about-the-government/departments/infrastructure/waste-management/statistics-on-recycling/#accordion Edited February 22 by Moghrey Mie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. I'd genuinely love to know what is the better (or least worse) option. Recycle but release a load of carbons transporting it 100s of miles. Or just dump it in the landfill.

Now let me get this straight, she Ms Edge has been, got rid/sacked/ousted because she was going to speak out on the whistleblowing the Ranson case and Wright report. What is the problem of speaking out (telling us what the gov do not want us to know) now she is a backbencher?. Oh and Alfie thought what the fuck am I doing Daffy in charge of motorsport am I insane, them there fuckers in the CS have a lot to answer for. But not on my watch.🙊🙉🙈 Listening to Daphne it seems she was told last week but Alf didn’t have guts to tell Julie until after budget debate! https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/newly-appointed-minister-relishing-challenge-to-improve-education/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omobono Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Big question is who is going to replace Daffy at Motorsport and does Alf have the balls to give the job to a petrol head for a change it certainly wants livening up and the TT merchandise seriously looked at , 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
