Public Rally Against Incinerator

Remondis and the QLD Labor Govt want to build a waste incinerator in Swanbank, Ipswich.

A similar proposal in Western Sydney this year was met with large protests and was subsequently overturned due to the associated health risks. Incinerators are harmful to the environment, being a major contributor to greenhouse emissions.

Harmful dioxins and furans are emitted, and a host of respiratory problems are linked to incinerators. A study by Utah University, USA revealed increased cancer rates in children living in areas where incinerators operate.

Ipswich residents are sick of being the dumping ground for QLD and interstate trash. Attend the rally to show your disapproval. Spread the word and share this event, Ipswich needs to show the government, council, Remondis and the wider community that residents do not want to live with a toxic, health damaging, environmentally disastrous waste incinerator in our city.
