Leachate Safari Visitors Avoid Showers to See Seven Leachate Plants in 2 Days

Everyone kept dry for the Enviros Leachate Safari, which visited 7 plants, and clocked up 700 miles of driving.

Leachate Treatment Plants operated by Viridor Waste Management, Waste Recycling Group (WRG), and the Greater Manchester Waste Disposal Authority were viewed, by the 34 waste management, regulatory officer, consultant, and student, attendees.

The trip provided an informal and enjoyable opportunity for the dissemination of information on the subject.

The celebratory (25 years of Leachate Treatment for Enviros) dinner, which was held at the historic oak panelled "Draper's Hall" in the centre of Shrewsbury, proved popular - where the wine cellar proved to contain some remarkably fine wines.

The trip confirmed that biological leachate treatment is being used very effectively and reliably at a large number of landfills in the UK.

The stars of the tour were definately the daily operators of each plant. They were clearly pleased to show off their plants, with pride, and enthusiasm.
