The Trackwork site was developed by [[Trackwork Ltd]] to process used railway sleepers from the rail network. Due to the hazardous nature of this particular material, the site is permitted as a hazardous waste incinerator. The permit was consolidated with an adjacent transfer station and processing site in November 2010, the consolidated permit allows up to 12,500 tonnes per year on non-hazardous and 42,000 tonnes per year of material to be handled. | The Trackwork site was developed by [[Trackwork Ltd]] to process used railway sleepers from the rail network.
