Summary
History
Dimmer landfill was opened in 1970 by Somerset County Council and was operated directly by them until responsibility was passed to Wyvern Waste Services Limited (WWS). WWS was a LAWDC (Local Authority Waste Disposal Company) formed by Somerset County Council in 1991; the assets at Dimmer were passed to WWS in 1992.
Somerset County Council sold its LAWDC to Viridor in 2006, the company name subsequently changing to Viridor Waste (Somerset) Limited in June 2006.
Some of the land used by the site was previously used as a ordnance dump during the second world war by the US military; very limited evidence of the former use is still visible on the site. Otherwise the land occupied by the site has historically been agricultural land.
The site is comprised of two principal parts - the original site and the extension area, but to all intents and purposes, the two sites are operated as one site.
