East Renfrewshire Waste Recycling Technology Centre


Organisation: East Renfrewshire Waste Recycling Technology Centre
Town/City: Barrhead
Postcode: G788 2QX
Description: The Waste Recycling Technology Centre provides training for unemployed people within Community Recycling and IT. Waste is collected from numerous local businesses which is then segregated and recycled. It uses thermophilic processors and vermiculture to recycle organic waste to produce a compost for the purpose of research on plants. Trainees go through job search activities to help them move into full-time employment. The project forms part of the schools curriculum for the Education dept in which school children visit the project to achieve various parts of their learning. It also has purchased a bio diesel plant to recycle spent vegetable oils and use this fuel to run the project vehicles.
