Where is the landfill site used by Wirral for rubbish?
I don't mean waste reception centres, I mean where is the actual tip these days?
As part of merseyside waste disposal the wirral does not have one . The closest thing was wrexham johnstown that caught fire last week or sankey valley landfill reception .
I think our residual waste still goes to Wilton, Teeside where it goes through final processing eg gasification etc to extract whatever energy is possible.
How does it get to Teeside? There must be thousands of tons of the stuff every week!
It goes by rail from Knowsley. It is a contract so it’s up to the company where and how they process the waste.
For some reason it’s all kept very hush-hush these days.
