The New Commingled Materials Reclamation Facility at Norton, Worcestershire

In July 2007 Worcestershire County Council granted planning permission for the Company to construct a new Commingled Materials Reclamation facility (CMRF or SeeMurf) at the Area 7 Business Park at Norton, some three miles south east of Worcester.

Due to open in 2009 the new CMRF 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. All the sorting will take place inside the 7,000 sq metre building.

In September 2007 the Company established a community liaison group to enable it to share information with local residents.
