==Summary==
==Summary==
An [[EfW]] facility based upon conventional combustion technology and considered an [[ERF]] based on its [[R1]] status. Lakeside has permitted operational capacity of 450,000 tonnes per annum, operated by [[Lakeside Energy from Waste Ltd]] a joint venture between [[Viridor]] and [[Grundon]]. Delivery of waste is by road, with a location close to the M25/M4 intersection, and the facility processes primarily residual [[Household Waste]] and [[Commercial Waste]]<ref>[https://www.viridor.co.uk/energy/energy-recovery-facilities/lakeside-efw/ Viridor Website]</ref>. The construction of the third runway at Heathrow Airport will necessitate the movement of the facility, with plans submitted in June 2019 to Slough Borough Council <ref>[https://www.letsrecycle.com/news/latest-news/plans-for-replacement-lakeside-efw-submitted/ Letsrecycle article]</ref>.
