Frequently Asked Questions
What is produced?
In addition to valuable renewable energy as gas, the facility produces fertilizer known as digestate which can be applied to land. Most is in liquid form and some is solid. Both are stabilised materials that can be used to supply a range of organic-based fertilizer nutrients to crops.
Does it smell?
NO : the facility is equipped with a state-of-the-art air control system and receives wastes on a just-in-time basis so nothing is left untreated.
Can I take my foodwaste to be recycled at the facility?
NO : the facility is carefully managed and regulated to ensure that only waste that is expected is safely received and treated. You should contact your Council about your local waste collection services
Can I visit the facility?
Maybe : the site operators will be happy to receive visitors such as technical specialists and school groups etc. It is a secure site so visits can only be by prior arrangement and you should NOT just turn up.
Where can I go for advice about recycling?
The best place to get advice about household recycling is your local authority website or organisations such as Zero Waste Scotland
