In August 2006 the Company submitted a planning application to Worcestershire County Council for a new Commingled Materials Reclamation Facility (CMRF or ‘SeeMurf’) to be built at the Area 7 Business Park at Norton, some three miles south east of Worcester.

The new CMRF, to be commissioned in 2008, will receive, sort and despatch all the clean recyclables collected from households across Worcestershire and Herefordshire. That is, all the cans, glass and plastic bottles, newspapers and light card put out for collection as householders across the region take up the recycling habit.

The new plant will have a capacity to receive and sort 105,000 tonnes of recyclable material per year – the tonnage expected to be achieved by 2028. All the sorting operations will take place inside the 7,000 sq. metre building.

The planning application will be determined by Worcestershire County Council. If you have any questions or comments on these proposals please email Ian Barber at ibarber@severnw.com
