Mallorca says no to Northern Irish rubbish exports

AN ECOLOGICAL association in the Balearic Islands is to team up with Northern Ireland’s Green Party in a joint effort to stop the exportation of rubbish from Northern Ireland to Mallorca.

The Ornithological Group of the Balearic Islands (GOB) have held meetings with representatives of the Green Party in the Balearics to stop the exportation of manure and other kinds of waste to Mallorca for incineration.

“Amongst the actions agreed are to gather our own data on air contamination produced by the rubbish incinerator and to request an audit on the company in charge, regarding the financial and legal aspects of their contract,” said a press release from GOB.
