Ardley landfill site closes after 35 years
Ardley landfill site has shut after 35 years and will no longer take nonhazardous waste.
The waste will now be recycled at waste management company Viridor’s £205m energy recovery facility.
The facility, next to the former landfill site, can recycle 300,000 tonnes of waste per year into 26 megawatts of electricity — enough to power about 38,000 homes.
The household waste recycling centre will not be affected by the closure.
