Waste can still go to landfill site
A waste site operator says it is still accepting waste on a site, despite a court order that it can not landfill there.
Natural Resources Wales suspended the permit for the Bryn Posteg landfill near Llanidloes, on Friday after evidence showed that the site now holds substantially more waste than is legally allowed.
It estimates that the landfill site is also significantly higher in places than permitted.
Potters Waste Management, one of Wales’ largest waste operators, is not allowed to tip any more waste in the landfill.
James Potter, Director said: "All notices and deadlines issued to the site by Natural Resources Wales have been complied with, the company continues to spend significant sums of money, in the region of £2 million, to address such issues and we always strive to continually improve our operations.
"The company always works with the regulator to ensure that the site is compliant with its permit conditions and this will continue. The site continues to be open to our customers for waste reception within the MRF, waste received will then be transported off site for disposal at one of our alternative disposal points.”
