Glastonbury reopened with new booking system in place

Domestic waste loads intended for Glastonbury treatment centre (TC) will have to be booked in advance using the existing
01225 524 508.

By applying the regional booking system to the centre it will enable closer control of the volumes entering the works thereby enabling it to re-open much earlier than was anticipated.

During the early monitoring period, the volumes and types of waste will be limited. It is anticipated that as the processes prove to be robust the works should gradually extend the loadings.

Mallory Revollon, area scientist for the Glastonbury treatment centre explained that a combination of the very cold winter and operational umping problems caused the prolonged closure of the works.  Treatment centres take time to recover stable treatment processes and this is why a cautious approach is being introduced for accepting tankered waste once more.
