Members of UKWIN and those who support its vision of a UK without incineration are invited to join us for our 2017 AGM, which  has the theme “Binning the Burners: Incinerator opposition from every direction”. This will be a national gathering of anti-incineration and pro Zero Waste campaigners and a great social occasion.
