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 />
