The history of transfer stations and recycling in London and the UK


Transfer stations in use have been since the 1950s in the United Kingdom in Central London the inner city landfill site s, some not larger than out war-time sites, bombed was full. Many of these had with ash from small manually loaded and filled stoked stove incinerators. Incineration plants transferred such as that in the London Borough of Merton was the residual material waste incinerated after extensive hand picking and recycling, and as a result requires only small landfills - but were replaced by stations, included no longer any recycling facilities at all.

The increasing volumes unsorted and reduced waste include, was it necessary to waste long way to appropriate holes in the ground outside the city transport. Soon the waste for more than half an hour, a way had to landfills in the suburbs or the green belt.To have a full band of men was sitting in the cabin of a garbage collection trucks (dust basket) or wait for his return, before you more waste of domestic boxes to collect could not kosteneffektiv.Entfernungen clearly were not great by today's standards but traffic congestion was extensive and conveying speeds are very low as a result.

As the streets the strategy of using a transfer station or depot where waste from the street was deposited collection were so poor (no dual direction decks or "Highways" were available on those days in London), and in larger "bulk" transfer a sensible strategy to be, approved vehicles.People forget that soon all the appropriate holes with waste and largely be filled recycling would ignore.

In fact, many of the first transfer stations in London were River transfer stations (e.g. Kausch dock and Walbrook dock and Northumberland wharf) where waste which loaded onto barges was simply first removed in the river of Thames and dumped at sea. later, and to this day still this same transfer station sites of modernized and fully updated facilities betreiben.seit the early 1960s as tip sea was prohibited, the River, the waste worn took tug on landfills on the Essex swamps.

The UK Institute of waste management first published detailed formal guidance to its members on planning and operational transfer stations in 1963, but looks you in vane for any reference to the recycling.

Cited the KMRC structure two major upheavals in the local government that occurred directly from the British cities in bigger and better controlled landfills served spur on development of transfer stations and shipment of waste.

The first occurred when the greater London Council (GLC) 1965, which was created by pooling the resources of each borough councils brought significant rationalisation and urgent handling needed public investment in more efficient waste for disposal in London.

The second took place across the country and began in 1974 when larger one authorities of Council were created and the waste disposal function in England in the county councils from the individual boroughs übertragen.jedoch as previously the accent as on bigger and better engineered landfill sites and not minimize waste, the limited capacity to preserve our landfills.

Created with greater financial and material resources and for the first time able over wider areas plan the new authorities proud major wastewater treatment plants and landfill-s to get the benefits of scale.

This era saw the first time in the United Kingdom based implementation of waste planning strategies in the emerging science of waste including mathematical modeling for site selection of both economic and ecological reasons.

This era was abolished continues until the GLC by Margaret Thatcher in 1986.The construction of a new generation of large combustion plants has been activated for the first time.First was the large incinerator at Judkins Lane London akzeptiert.Wirtschaft scale allows the waste from a number of nearby districts energy recovery makes generation, others refuse treatment systems implemented with rail, River and road transport, and for which complex transfer stations were built which today remain in use.

Ironically, very little recycling by the GLC was made, though, when removed, it had tried to put this right and was strong in household waste recycling centres investieren.In of fact, was the sad fact that far more recycling second during and immediately after the world war as in the years leading up to our current resurgence of recycling has been performed.

At the end it was to public opinion, which forced our leaders recognize that society has simply make optimal use of resources of the Earth and not wasting hard-fought materials and Energie.Recycling, has an important role to play.








Steve is an editorial writer Abfallwirtschaft.Er has a Web site, which describes amazing new waste technologies which minimizes, reuse and recycle developed our waste visualizer.some others have exotic names such as pyrolysis and gasification, fluid bed bed, mechanical heat treatment and Autoklavieren.Schallwand can now for example MRFs, RDF and MBA plants? when you visit the site, you will know what all these are.
