100percent recovery. 205 240 litre bins. All filters.
Waste management companies can now dispose of metal oil and fuel filters at the
purpose built fragmentation plant run by the OSS Group in Mersyside.
The plant can process all types of used metal oil filters. Delivery can be in
either 205litre drums or 240litre wheelie bins. Alternatively OSS can collect
from any location in the UK subject to a transport charge. The service includes
the cleaning of the bins.
The plant, which opened last year, is one of only a limited number in the UK.
Fully compliant, it shreds the filters and separates the basic elements of
metal, plastic, paper and residual waste oils, recovering 100 percent for recycling.
OSS recovers the oil for use as a feedstock for its fuel oil product, NexGen
CFO. The various solid waste streams are cleaned, packaged and sent to re
processors.
The fragmentation plant is available to third party customers at the current
rates of 9GBP for each 205litre and 10GBP for each 240litre bin delivered to its
site in Knowsley, Merseyside. The cost covers the full cleaning of the
containers used to transport the filters.
According to Group Sales and Marketing Manager Mark Bridgens, "This is one of
only a very few of such plants in the UK that is licensed to receive and handle
hazardous waste. Our process, now classed as the best available technology,
means that all the waste we receive is recovered."
