The Guildford Anti-Incinerator Network (GAIN) has produced an 8-page Campaign Update (available to download as a .pdf)

The Update is full of useful information and positive news from Surrey.
Read about the progress being made in Surrey:

GAIN supports and welcomes the introduction of food waste collections by Epsom & Ewell Borough Council, Surrey Heath Borough Council, Elmbridge Borough Council and Guildford Borough Council, with Woking Borough Council set to join them in January 2010.

These collections mark a major step towards Surrey becoming a byword for sustainable waste management and we recognise the logistical work that has gone into their introduction…The waste collected is being treated either by anaerobic digestion in Bedfordshire, or, in an In-Vessel Composter in Kent pending suitable facilities being available within our county.

And more positive news from GAIN:

If you are able to install a ‘Green Cone’ food waste digester in your garden, Guildford Borough Council and Mole Valley District Council are offering to supply these to their residents at special rates.

SCC ENVIRONMENT & ECONOMY WASTE TASK GROUP REVIEWS TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR RESIDUAL WASTE
In October 2009, GAIN welcomed an invitation from the Waste Review Task Group to participate in a review of the treatment technologies available to deal with residual waste. This review is intended to contribute to the 2010 update of the Waste Disposal Authority Joint Municipal Waste Management Strategy Plan. GAIN submitted a paper to the Task Group and attended an oral session to expand on this and answer questions from Members. A copy of GAIN’s paper can be found at
