WQ.19/2024
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR INFRASTRUCTURE BY DEPUTY C.D . CURTIS OF ST. HELIER CENTRAL
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 12TH FEBRUARY 2024 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 19TH FEBRUARY 2024
Question
“Further to the adoption of P.65/2023, will the Minister detail what progress, if any, has been made in reinstating the re-use centre at La Colette, and provide an indication of when it will be open?”
Answer
Following the acceptance of P.65/2023 (amended), the Solid Waste Section of the Department for Infrastructure has held discussions with a number of charitable organisations and commercial businesses that have expressed an interest in operating from the site at La Collette. The outcome of the discussions is that none of the charities operating general reuse/resale activities (such as Acorn/Durrell/Hospice) see the site fitting into their current operation and would not engage in a tender for its use.
There is interest from a charity working in a specific area and also from commercial businesses who work in the electrical/technology market, and all would work to direct these materials from waste streams or alternative recycling routes.
The Department is currently finalising the tender documents to go out to identify a suitable tenant for the site.
