Much of what is recovered is then sold on as Products.

Our reporting procedures will also allow you to demonstrate pre-treatment of waste and enable you to maintain and further demonstrate legislative compliance supported with all relevant documentation i.e. weighbridge tickets, monthly or weekly summaries of waste movements and itemized transfer notes.
Information from the facilities is fed back to clients to enable them to demonstrate their recycling achievements as a combination of all our efforts. This information also forms part of the service we provide through our Skip Hire Services.
The “Hierarchy of Waste” promotes the Minimisation, Re-use and Recycle, Energy from Waste and Landfill in that order of preference. The John Wade Group has invested in both equipment and people (the Group employs over 150 people of which 30+ are involved in waste management) with the aim of maximising recovery and recycling.

As well as waste treatment the site also provides for landfill disposal of Non-Hazardous waste but it does not end there; the landfill cells are fully engineered to ensure maximum containment and to prevent harm to the environment, and on completion the land is restored to agriculture.

The gas from the decomposition of the waste is not lost as it is harnessed to produce electricity, which is fed into the National Grid. The site currently generates enough electricity to power some 1000 households, and plans are in place to collect even more.
The John Wade Group now operate the Civic Amenity Site for Darlington Borough Council; added to this is a Waste Transfer Station, open to receive light commercial vehicles working in Darlington, who may find the site more convenient than travelling to Aycliffe, not forgetting we also provide a Skip hire service as an alternative.
