Significant progress is being made on a new £2 million recycling centre in Haverhill.
Construction works are being completed by FCC Environment and its contractor DXI Regeneration Ltd, on behalf of Suffolk County Council. The facility will be operated by FCC Environment, which manages all of Suffolk's 11 recycling centres.
The new centre will feature:
• A raised platform giving visitors an elevated position from which to safely dispose of waste - removing the need for steps
• A one-way system and easy-to-use layout, allowing customers to access clearly marked recycling bays
• No need to close the facility to replace full containers
• Improved accessibility and increased capacity for recycling and donating items for reuse
• Greater separation between public vehicles and larger vehicles
• Queuing capacity within the site and better access from the public highway compared to the Chalkstone Way site.
The waste transfer station on Homefield Road will continue to operate on the same site alongside the new recycling centre.
The project sees FCC Environment and Suffolk County Council working as part of the Suffolk Waste Partnership with West Suffolk Council.
