Does Bridport really need a waste transfer station and what are the reasons for it?
Yes, at present refuse collection vehicles, which are not designed for long trips, continue to travel to Wareham which is not sustainable. On average there would be one truck for every three to four refuse collection vehicles travelling from a new transfer station. Similar journeys are also made by the recycling collection vehicles, the transfer station would allow for this material to be bulked up locally for transport on to a number of places around the country.
