Waste Disposal & Recycling

The professional and practical advice that WBM provides is designed to allow operators of such sites to be able to function without significant complaints and interruption. Full and thorough assessments can avoid delays in the planning process and prevent operational problems that might occur due to complaints arising when a site is operational.

WBM works for waste recycling and disposal companies in the UK on a wide range of sites such as landfill, waste transfer stations, materials recycling facilities and energy from waste plants. The environmental benefit of recycling has to be balanced against the potential noise disturbance caused by these processes, some of which such as energy from waste facilities are required to operate 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.

Waste disposal is a specialist area requiring knowledge of how to control site noise whilst permitting optimum site development. Noise associated with recycling of waste in various ways is another area of expertise, whether it is household waste recycling facilities or demolition and construction related materials. WBM has built up a large database of plant noise levels for use in site noise calculations and our knowledge of appropriate noise mitigation measures for such sites is used to optimise site development.

WBM has extensive experience of noise aspects relating to mineral extraction and associated waste disposal areas. Experience in the past twenty years includes over six hundred mineral and waste disposal related sites developed at green-field sites and in industrial areas or as extensions to existing operations. The advice that WBM provides is designed to allow operators of such sites to be able to function without significant complaints and interruption.
