Millerhill Energy from Waste facility has been developed, constructed and is being operated through a 25-year partnership between [[FCC Environment]], the [[Edinburgh City Council]] and the [[Midlothian Council]]. The feedstock utilised at this plant is non-hazardous [[residual waste]], processing 135,000 tonnes per year of this material originating from households within the Edinburgh and Midlothian regions, and a remainder 20,000 tonnes per year originating from businesses. It is located at what used to be a brownfield site between the active railway yards operated by Network Rail and the former Monktonhall Colliery with good access to rail and road routes, enabling it to manage waste from both Edinburgh City and the Midlothian Councils<ref name="ref1" >Millerhill 2020.

==History==

The contract to build the Millerhill EfW was signed in October 2016 by FCC and the City of Edinburgh and Midlothian Councils, after FCC was selected as the preferred bidder by the partnership Zero Waste: Edinburgh and Midlothian to design, construct, finance and operate the plant. The facility began construction in December 2016 and was scheduled to take 30 months to complete, commencing accepting waste and commissioning in November 2018 and full operations in June 2019, ahead of schedule<ref name="ref1" />.

In 2020 [[FCC]] formed [[Green Recovery Projects Ltd]], a new company for its [[Energy from Waste]] portfolio to allow the subsequent sale of 49% to [[Icon Infrastructure]]. This included Millerhill EfW<ref>[https://www.letsrecycle.com/news/latest-news/icon-infrastructure-share-fcc-energy-from-wastes-energy-from-waste-plants/ Letsrecycle Article]</ref>.

==Local Authority Data==

The [[Residual EfW]] pages for sites located in England and Wales capture the data reported by Local Authorities, through [[WasteDataFlow]], received at those sites. In Scotland this data is not reported, meaning that the destination in [[WasteDataFlow]] is not defined and the origin in the regulator returns for a facility receiving the tonnage is also not reported (resulting in a 'NA' in the table in the section below). As a result it is not possible to report for Scottish sites in the same way as other sites in WikiWaste.
