RE3

Waste in the transfer station at Smallmead

Waste Disposal

The average recovery rate across the re3 partnership area for the period 2011/12 is 80.07%. The recovery rate is a contractual measure of the total amount of waste delivered to recycling, Energy from Waste, beneficial use and composting.

Rubbish collected from your homes is currently taken to one of our Transfer Stations (either at Smallmead or Longshot Lane Waste Management Parks), where it is loaded into large lorries and sent for disposal.

re3 aims to dispose of waste in the most sustainable way possible, but you can help us to reduce the amount of waste that is sent to Landfill or to Energy from Waste by reducing, reusing and recycling as much as possible.
