What happens to your non-recyclable waste?
Our non-recyclable waste goes to Viridor’s Energy Recovery Facility in Dunbar, East Lothian.
Viridor process and treat the waste, using it to generate electricity which is exported onto the National Grid.
Energy recovery is not only a safe and cost-effective waste disposal method but is better for the environment as it creates less greenhouse gas emissions compared to landfilling waste, even with the haulage taken into account.
