Alperton<br />
Handling<br />
more waste than ever!<br />
Our Alperton site enables us to divert 100% of<br />
our waste from landfill. It also has a 24 hour, 7 day<br />
a week licence meaning we’re able to handle more<br />
waste than ever before. The site is open to other<br />
waste carriers and the general public.<br />
Sustainability is paramount for us and we look to<br />
protect what we have currently and also for<br />
future generations. The key focus for Alperton is<br />
to enable us recycle as much as possible into<br />
recoverable and reusable materials and remove<br />
reliance on dwindling virgin materials.<br />
plant on site and a water harvesting system<br />
which collects rain water, with the capacity to<br />
store 60,000 litres for use across the entire site<br />
including our suppression systems.<br />
The creation of our new facility has enabled us to<br />
cast our net further afield in relation to the areas<br />
we service and has created a number of local jobs<br />
across a range of roles.<br />
The site is self-sufficient in a number of ways<br />
including the use of solar panels to provide the<br />
electricity needed to power all the heavy process<br />
