Charlton Lane Community Recycling Centre (CRC) has been redeveloped to turn it into a modern, state of the art recycling facility.
The work to revamp and extend Charlton Lane CRC, Shepperton, was completed in December 2009.
The improvements were carried out to make it easier for Surrey householders to recycle. Surrey Waste Management is keeping the CRC open during the redevelopment work to ensure minimisal disruption to customers.
The improvements include:
- Expansion of the existing site
- Additional parking spaces and an improved traffic flow system
- The creation of a split level site to give easy access to the recycling containers, eliminating the need for steps
- A large area dedicated to green waste
In an effort to be as green as possible 'eco sand' made from recycled glass brought into Charlton Lane has been used during the build as an alternative to sharp sand. Concrete and soil excavated during the works will also be used in the build as fill material.
The development of the Shepperton site was part of Surrey County Council's county-wide multi-million pound investment in waste minimisation, recycle and disposal. The council intends to retain its status as one of the top performing counties in the country for recycling and is aiming for 60 per cent of all waste coming into Charlton Lane and all the other CRCs to be recycled, by 2025.
