POWERING THROUGH LONDON’S WASTE


W 8


ith landfill tax set to hit £84.40 per tonne from April 2016, one business sandwiched between a canal


and main rail lines in Willesden Junction West London, is set to become very busy indeed.


One such business is independent waste processing specialist Powerday, founded by Chairman Mick Crossan, who Finning News met in his head office at Old Oak Sidings, right next to what will be the largest new housing development in London.


Thanks to the future construction of a Crossrail-HS2 super hub and 25,500 planned homes, over a 650 hectare site, that will turn Old Oak into the capital’s newest neighbourhood, Powerday’s state of the art waste processing facility will certainly be in demand.


First opened in 2006, the twelve-acre site has a license to operate 24 hours day, using a range of Caterpillar®


equipment, supported by Finning. As


the largest of three London based material recovery facilities (MRF) owned by the business, when combined together, Powerday has the capacity to handle over 2 million tonnes of construction, municipal, commercial and industrial waste per year.
