Veolia welcomes residents to Marchwood Open Day

Residents in Marchwood and neighbouring areas are invited to take a look behind the scenes at Marchwood’s Energy Recovery Facility on Thursday 22 September. Veolia Environmental Services, operators of the site, will be holding the special Open Day and all visitors are welcome.

The event is designed to show how an energy-from-waste facility works and turns waste into a resource. 

During the day visitors can experience:
• A behind-the-scenes tour of the facility
• A visit to the control room
• Educational games for younger visitors

Facility Manager, Mike Campbell of Veolia Environmental Services said:

“We think this is a great opportunity for our neighbours and local residents to come and explore what happens at our site. We hope people will come to meet us and gain an inside view on how we are working behind the scenes on their behalf!”
Marchwood Energy Recovery Facility is part of the Project Integra network of waste management infrastructure, designed to handle Hampshire’s household waste and recycling.  In Hampshire just 10% of our waste is sent to landfill – topping the league tables for waste diverted from landfill.

If you would like to come to the open day at Marchwood Energy Recovery Facility on Thursday 22 September, please email [email protected] or call 01962 764083 as soon as possible to book your tour time – spaces are going fast!
