The Waste DPD will make provision for the supply of sites to meet the predicted waste management needs of the sub region to 2027. It will identify the most suitable sites for waste management uses and help minimise the use of unsuitable sites.
In order for the Waste DPD is be successful in creating a framework for a modern network of new, sustainable waste facilities, new sites need to be identified and consulted on.
Our Needs Assessment suggests that Merseyside and Halton will need sites for the following uses:
- Household Waste Recycling Centres
- New Treatment facilities
- Materials Recycling Facilities
- Waste Transfer Stations
Because of the difficulty of finding suitable locations we also need to provide some larger sites which could be developed as Recycling and resource recovery parks (accommodating a combination of the above uses).
Who will build and operate new facilities?
The private industry will build and operate many of the facilities, although sometimes they will do so with, or under contract to, public bodies such as Merseyside Waste Disposal Authority.
