Willmott Dixon<\/a> has started works on-site at Kibworth Recycling and Household Waste Site to modernise and expand the facility<\/h2>\n

The \u00a35m scheme will allow for improved recycling<\/a> facilities, greater ease of use, improved drainage and traffic flow, as well as safer access for site users through improved segregation of HGV and pedestrian traffic.<\/p>\n

The renovations for the new split-level site include new bulk storage areas, waste bin locations, access ramps, and a weighbridge.<\/p>\n

Energy saving technologies<\/h3>\n

The new office and welfare unit will include energy saving technologies such as automated LED lighting<\/a>, and electric vehicle charging points.<\/a><\/p>\n

Leicestershire County Council<\/a> commissioned the project through SCAPE\u2019s Construction framework as part of its\u00a0commitment to improve household waste services.<\/p>\n

Sustainable design<\/h3>\n

Nick Heath, director of delivery at Willmott Dixon, said: “We are pleased to be pressing ahead with the works at Kibworth Recycling and Household Waste Site and working alongside our delivery partners to support Leicestershire County Council to improve the facility.<\/p>\n

“We are proud to be growing our remit as a partner of choice for waste and recycling developments – providing trusted counsel to enhance productivity, efficiency and sustainable design.”<\/p>\n

‘Recycle and responsibly deal with waste’<\/h3>\n

Councillor Blake Pain, Leicestershire County Council\u2019s cabinet member for the environment and the green agenda, said: “Supporting our residents to recycle and to responsibly deal with their waste is a top priority for us and we are pleased to see work underway to improve the Kibworth site.<\/p>\n

“Once the alterations are completed, residents will find the site more efficient and easier to use.”<\/p>\n

‘Efforts to hit net zero’<\/h3>\n

Mark Robinson, group chief executive of SCAPE<\/a>, said: “Effective management of waste is going to be a crucial component of the country\u2019s efforts to hit net zero.<\/p>\n

“Recycling is one of the simplest and most effective ways that a community can reduce its carbon emissions, and with the added benefits of energy saving technologies and electric vehicle charging points, the Kibworth site will set a strong example for the community.<\/p>\n

“Along with a best-in-class delivery team, we\u2019re proud to be helping Leicestershire County Council deliver vital improvements to a key, sustainable asset.”<\/p>\n

The works are being carried out in collaboration with Maber Associates<\/a>. The site will be closed until Autumn 2022.<\/p>\n
