Waste management
As well as complying with legislation to pre-treat waste and dispose of hazardous waste, we continue to seek alternative disposal arrangements for our waste streams, in order to avoid landfill wherever possible. For example, it costs £500,000 per annum to landfill sewage grit and screenings which form part of the effluent received at our waste water treatment works. These waste streams are segregated at the head of the works and we are investigating opportunities to compost them for land remediation.
