We have worked on the Chelson Meadow waste and recycling facility for several years.
In 2007, we built a new waste transfer station capable of handling Plymouth’s waste following the closure of a landfill site. The massive 12-metre high, 65 metre square steel-framed building was constructed to process 140,000 tonnes of rubbish a year.
And in 2009, we completed a £2m package of improvements at the Chelson Meadow Recycling Centre, which we delivered ahead of schedule.
The centre is now more user friendly, with separate entrances and exits from the landfill and transfer station operations. There are also larger 'drop off' areas for green waste, wood, stone and soil, scrap metal and electrical goods including, fridges and freezers, TVs, washing machines, cookers and hand-held electrical items.
Councillor Michael Leaves, cabinet member for streetscene and environmental regulation, said: "Managing the city's waste is one of the biggest challenges now facing the council and we know it's simply not an option to keep throwing our rubbish in landfill sites in the long term."
