Acumen has exclusive access to a waste treatment facility located on a 30 acre site close to York. The site benefits from Full Planning Permission and bespoke Environmental Treatment and Restoration Permits, allowing the site to receive up to 250,000 tonnes per annum of suitable waste materials.
The permanent, bespoke-permitted facility benefits from permanent infrastructure and access.
The site is serviced via hard-paved roads, has a weighbridge facility and fully integrated truck washing facilities.
The treatment site benefits from impermeable paving, with associated sealed drainage systems allowing tipping articulated vehicles to utilise the site safely.
The site has been designed to facilitate 100% diversion from landfill and accepts a broad range of waste materials, including street-sweeping and road cleaning residues,
construction wastes, contaminated soils and by-products from other waste processes.
The process holds several standard and bespoke end-of-waste protocols, ensuring maximum recovery of suitably compliant mineral by-products back into the construction market.
Treated by-products that do not meet an agreed end-of-waste protocol are often suitable, subject to confirmatory testing, for recovery under the bespoke Restoration Permit and as such benefit from appropriate “R” codes.
The facility services a range of Local Authority and Blue Chip customers.
To ensure full transparency and a clear audit-trail, bespoke reports can be complied for each customer to suit their requirements.
