Planned improvements to Buckinghamshire Council’s Waste Transfer Station at Pembroke Road, Aylesbury are now complete.
£9.2 Million pounds was invested into the redevelopment that will be able to cater for the growing population of Bucks, as well as provide an upgraded, safer environment for frontline workers.
One of the main purposes of the Pembroke Road site is to provide the waste collection vehicles somewhere to transfer recyclable materials and items collected from over 88,000 households in the north of the county.
The development has also seen fire detection and suppression investment due to the risk of fire within the waste industry.
The site is also home to a workshop. This allows the Council to service and repair its own recycling and waste vehicles, meaning work can be carried out on site in a timely manner with minimal disruption to the service. The workshop also carries out all taxi MOTs and inspections making it an extremely valuable local facility.
