Waste plant opponents set out their stall
Published Date:

CAMPAIGNERS fighting plans for a waste transfer station are holding a stall on Portobello High Street on Saturday.
It will be operating from 10.30am for two hours, with volunteers collecting signatures on petitions and giving out window posters and leaflets.
The £7 million scheme would transform a former rail freight yard off Sir Harry Lauder Road into a waste transfer station.
The new plant, which would be privately run by the council's main waste contractor Viridor, has been widely tipped as a potential long-term replacement for the city's dilapidated facility at Powderhall.
The Portobello plant could handle more than twice as much waste.
