The landfill is constructed as a Containment Facility, utilizing the re-worked siltstone and slate derived clay materials as the principal barrier. The landfill lining system is augmented with a flexible membrane liner of High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) on the base and the lower part of the sidewalls. The sidewalls are steeply graded and required buttressing to enable construction within the 40+ metre deep quarry.

There is Landfill Gas power generation with electricity export to the National Grid. Installed capacity is 4.~~89MW~~. [1]

There is Landfill Gas power generation with electricity export to the National Grid. Installed capacity is 2.05MW. [1]

Viridor have been unable to secure a connection to the local sewerage system, principally due to a lack of local treatment capacity at the receiving Sewage Treatment Works. Consequently, Leachate produced by the site is removed by tanker to appropriately permitted Sewage Treatment Works.
