£1.3m waste transfer station nears completion
A state-of-the-art recycling facility in Darlington is nearing completion.
The two-year wait for Total Recycling Services’ £1.3m waste transfer station is due to be finished and open for business in the summer.
Newton Aycliffe firm Finley Structures, contracted to erect the structural steelwork for the new facility, have almost completed their work on the site, next to Orange on Lingfield Way in Darlington.
And Total Recycling managing director Alex Foreman, pictured at the firm’s new plant, says it’s an exciting development for the firm.
The station will create six new full-time jobs, including a chemist to examine hazardous waste, taking the total number of employees to 36, and is expected to increase Total’s annual turnover by £1.2m to £6.3m a year.
“It’s a really exciting development which will be two years in the making by the time it’s finished,” said Mr Foreman.
“The new waste transfer station will be a state-of-the-art facility which will enhance our growing business and increase our reputation as one of the market leaders in recycling and waste management.”
Total Recycling was established in August 2009, born out of a desire to provide a one-stop-shop waste management services for companies throughout the UK.
Its team combines 25 years’ experience in both the hazardous and non-hazardous waste disposal industries.
MD Mr Foreman has a wealth of experience in waste management, having previously been operations director and commercial director with another large North-East waste management company.
Total Recycling now boasts an experienced sales team fully trained in site audits, while waste requirements analysis are supported by an administration team. They also have a large team of waste management operatives working from our recycling depot and head office in Darlington.
Mr Foreman added: “Unlike many other waste management companies who tend to specialise in either hazardous or non-hazardous wastes, we have considerable experience in both having brought together directors, managers and key personnel from both industries.
“We therefore have an in depth understanding of the waste management industry as a whole. By combining this experience with expert knowledge of environmental best practice, we are able to provide a professional approach to waste management and recycling services.
“We assist our customers in applying the correct waste hierarchy of waste prevention, minimisation, reuse and recycling.
“As a service organisation we place particular emphasis upon customer requirements, producing cost-effective custom solutions based upon compliance and results.
“We strive to deliver more innovative cost effective solutions using our experience in service development by improving working processes and developing open relationships with our customers.”
