Garden Waste Collection Heysham has been selected as the preferred provider of energyfromwaste services in Heysham, Lancashire, and is in discussion with the county council over how to deliver the project. The plant would convert nonrecyclable waste from across northwest England into enough electricity to power over 430,000 homes and create over 60 per cent of the district's secondary municipal waste for recycling. It would also generate enough heat to warm 83,000 homes and treat nonrecyclable residual waste locally.

Our new energyfromwaste  (EfW) plant in Heysham will not only boost recycling, it will create jobs and reduce the county's reliance on dumping waste into landfill. The site has been earmarked for development for more than a decade, but WCC supported our idea to build this plant so we can sort and recycle more. Since every tonne of waste works out cheaper than landfill disposal, Lancashire residents will pay less than current fees too. The facility, which will process residual waste collected from homes and businesses in Heysham and surrounding areas, is expected to produce up to 50 million kilowatt hours per year of electricity for the national grid.

It will employ around 150 people during its 25year operational lifetime. A major green waste operation is set to bring  a £60m boost to the economy of Lancashire. Garden Waste Collection Heysham, a worldwide firm whose services help residents in Heysham dispose of their green waste safely, has received planning permission for a new energyfromwaste plant that will create up to 160 jobs. The company is still finalising the terms of specific plans to work with the local community in Heysham to bring two new energyfromwaste plants, including a construction materials recovery facility, and construction is expected to be complete in 2018.
