Our Business
Avondale Landfill

The current site
- handles around 450,000 tonnes of municipal, commercial, industrial and hazardous waste every year
- generates renewable electricity for export to The National Grid from menthane gas harvested from the existing landfill
Responding to Change
Avondale is committed to sustainability and is embracing the major social, economic and environmental changes being driven by The Scottish Government’s Zero Waste Action Plan. (link)
Future Developments
Advanced Waste Treatment Centre
The first phase of Avondale's Advanced Waste Treatment Centre - the Materials Recycling Facility opens on February 1st, 2012. It will be a springboard for further development taking Avondale beyond its traditional business of landfill services and will firmly root Avondale in recycling and renewables.
Phase Two - Thermal Drying Facility
Phase two will see the introduction of a Thermal Drying Facility to produce a higher quality renewable fuel from RDF (Refuse Derived Fuel) and organic matter.
These fuels will be used in the high performance end of the market, such as energy from waste facilities.
