History
The recycling plant was erected in 2009 at a cost of £1.5m and incorporated a crushing and washing plant that separated, aggregated and cleaned stones, soil, and sand. Products included both fine and coarse sand along with 10mm, 20mm and 40mm aggregates. The plant operated until 2018 and had an annual capacity of 110,000 tonnes. In 2013, just over 40,000 tonnes of recycled aggregate was produced from an input of just under 100,000 tonnes.
The site was owned by local business man Kevin Burgess director of Nottinghamshire recycling Ltd (NRL) and also Secretary of park farming Ltd (PFL) who are both now defunct.
In 2017 Burgess and other associates of Nottinghamshire recycling Ltd found themselves in trouble with the law which landed them in court after they committed offences which helped maximise the companies’ financial gain at the expense of the environment, leading to a series of fires on one of NRL’s sites at Shireoaks Road in Worksop in 2013 and 2014.
Chris Badger, prosecuting, told the court that NRL and PFL repeatedly operated outside the terms of their environmental permits for financial gain.
NRL officers created risk to the environment and harm to human health.
Waste was also stored in huge quantities outside the business’ permitted areas.
Waste was blended at both the Worksop and Kiveton site in an attempt to avoid higher rates of landfill tax and the defendants’ conduct resulted in five fires at NRL’s Worksop site in 2013 and 2014.
Judge Robert Moore said the conduct of four of the companies’ directors in breaking the law had been deliberate, while a fifth had acted negligently.
The actions of a site manager were judged to have been reckless in aiding and abetting the offending, which took place at Kiveton and South Anston.
The offences were serious enough for a custodial sentence and Burgess was sentenced to 21 months in prison, along with disqualification from being a director for 7 years.
The Explore
Not much to say about this place to be fair.
Its just a big old recycling plant sat doing nothing but rusting away.
Access is extremly straight forward.. just walk right up to it,no fencing, CCTV,or any security.
Was actually supprised the plant was still in 1 piece and not been cut up for scrap as gotta be worth a fortune.
