Because this is a new venture we do not know what the volumes of materials will be, there are no maximum or minimum quantities. We will have a mixture of open top and compactor hook lift containers which require removing & exchanging from their loading point, emptying and returning to our premises on Gypsum Close.We are also looking for a facility that will accept Green Garden Waste loose from a Refuse Collection Vehicle (RCV). This additional option is likely to be required between March and November with an estimated annual tonnage of c1000 Tonnes.
