About the Project and Progress Update

About The Project: Walsall HWRC & WTS

Welcome to our Walsall Household Waste Recycling Centre (HWRC) and Waste Transfer Station (WTS) project, a £32million-pound construction scheme located in Aldridge, Walsall. This page will provide updates on project progress, detail any upcoming works and provide information to stakeholders and the local community.

About the project:

We've been appointed by Walsall Council through the Pagabo framework to construct a new Household Waste Recycling Centre and Waste Transfer Station on the former McKechnie Brass Ltd site at Middlemore Lane in Aldridge.

The new 5-hectare site will also house a ‘re-use shop’ selling household furniture and goods, a trade waste facility for small businesses, a welfare office, container area and vehicular parking. Solar PV also generates renewable energy for the site.

Proposals additionally include the provision of access, landscaping and associated infrastructure. The new and improved facilities are essential to help the council hit targets for its waste recycling and carbon performance.

Progress Update: November 2024

We have now completed the earthworks cut/fill/ground treatment works.
We have completed site wide foundations and are ongoing with site wide service ducts/drainage. We have also completed our temporary site entrance.
Our 4 steel frames are also complete and the roofs have been installed.
The next set of activities will be wall cladding to the buildings and external concrete finishes.
We will be commencing concrete slab works. This will involve out of hours power floating / finishing starting 25th of Nov until Feb 25.
