Key Facts

Over 50% of renewable energy is generated from waste – either through landfill gas or energy from waste facilities.

All rubbish that is brought into either our Horn Lane or Ruislip depot is put through a sorting and screening process to maximise the amount of waste that is recycled. Our aim is to ultimately reduce the amount of waste that we send to landfill.
