Treatment plant offers fresh channel for recycling gully material

11 April 2007

Three South Wales councils have joined forces to develop a £160,000 facility which recycles waste material from highways gullies.
Vale of Glamorgan, Cardiff and Bridgend councils are working together for the first time to create one of the only reed bed filtration plants in the UK, situated in Glamorgan at Pant y Lladron, near St Hilary.
Currently, the waste from gullies is taken to landfill. When the facility is completed in July, it will recycle soil and other solid waste materials. As a by-product, clean water will be produced and made available for use for gully cleansing.
‘This new treatment facility is a long-term approach to dealing with the waste and will provide an excellent sustainable solution to our problems,’ Glamorgan’s highways operational manager Keith Jones said.
