The scheme was developed to transform a rundown brownfield site in Leicester into a new  state-of-the-art recycling facility for use by both the trade and public.

The site which opened in April 2015 now includes a new split level facility comprising a lower service yard and raised roadway from which the public can dispose of their waste, two weigh bridges complete with display and ticketing machines, a Trade Waste Area comprising a lower service yard and raised roadway with storage beneath, site offices including 2 x single storey and 1 x two storey facility and a Waste Transfer Centre for handling specialist household waste and fly tipped materials.

Contract Period: 33 weeks

The project was completed by the incorporation of substantial earthworks and remediation to allow easy access for the trade and general public to recycle their waste.
