Old Oak Sidings

Powerday’s new Materials Recycling Facility (MRF) at Old Oak Sidings, Willesden Junction, north-west London has been built to the highest specification. Inside, the most advanced computerised plant and equipment are operated from a central control tower.

The facility has a number of unique features.

• Congestion-busting green transport links – as well as having first rate road connections, the location on a prime site in north London is connected to rail and canal links.  
• Wider licence – the exceptionally wide scope of the licence granted by the Environment Agency singles it out as one of the most versatile in the country.
• Bigger volumes – with an annual capacity of 1.6 million tonnes, the Willesden Junction centre is the biggest of its kind in the UK.
• Covering extensive specialist sectors – the facility serves all industry sectors but specialises in the recycling of construction, demolition, commercial, industrial and municipal wastes.
• High specification – the building, plant and infrastructure have been designed and equipped to the highest specifications and environmental standards.
• Putting something back – the facility has a purpose-built educational centre for the training of recycling professionals and others.
• Renewable energy – the site is powered by a sustainable biomass energy system.
• Feeder centres – Powerday’s three other centres at Brixton, Neasden and Brimsdown near Enfield act as transfer stations.
• Variety of facilities – in addition to the MRF, the centre includes a waste transfer facility, an aggregate/sand handling facility and a plant hire depot.
