Why we take part
We run visits so that members of the public can come and see what we do here, ask questions and see the plant in action. It means that visitors can have discussions with us (and each other) about recycling, energy recovery and the waste hierarchy.
During the year we have lots of visits from local community groups, professional groups and schools but not everyone belongs to something like this. Our events are always popular, well attended and very much enjoyed by the staff also. We get lots of questions and interesting discussions taking place!
