Located on Corporation Road, just south of the Stephenson Street junction. The site operates a large hazardous waste transfer station and boasts the largest capacity bulk hazardous waste treatment plant in the UK. The primary activity is the physiochemical treatment of acids, alkalis, neutral sludges and many other aqueous industrial liquid wastes. Wastes are accepted in any size vessel from the largest bulk tanker through drums and IBCs to laboratory smalls. Wastes are completely treated by neutralisation, metal precipitation, redox processes and filtration to reduce and remove their hazardous characteristics.
