Cobden Street, Salford

Updated 28/06/10

Construction work is on-going at the Cobden Street facility, a number of facilities are being built over a period of time and a phased approach is being taken to keep the old facilities open whilst the new ones are being built.

The Household Waste Recycling Centre (HWRC) remains open, during this time, opening times are detailed below.
 

The Household Waste Recycling Centre (HWRC) has been upgraded and two new facilities for  handling and processing waste are being constructed. 
 

The HWRC remains a split-level facility and has  been extended to give access to more vehicles at any one time, and to ensure the centre works efficiently with the adjacent facilities.

A new Transfer Loading Station (TLS) dedicated to receiving and sorting recyclable waste from local collections has been complted and it is now accepting mixed recycling from local collections.. Once processed, the waste will be sent to the Materials Recycling Facility (MRF) at Longley Lane, Sharston − helping Greater Manchester to further reduce the waste it sends to landfill.

The Mechanical Biological Treatment (MBT) facility – including an Anaerobic Digester (AD) − will sort mixed residual waste, separating out organic particles and other useful materials for composting or recycling. The organic material will be treated in the AD, producing green energy that can be used to power the facility, and exported to the National Grid. Construction is on going and  the facility is due to be completed by April 2011, with a further 6 months of testing. The facility is due to be completely finished and operational in December 2011.

The Cobden Street developments are taking place within the boundaries of the current waste management site, meaning that no additional land is required. The facilities will be self contained, ensuring that all processes take place within the buildings − with safeguards in place to prevent litter, odour and noise pollution.
 

The Household Waste Recycling Centre is open at the following times:
