Landfill

We operate two landfill sites at Ryarsh and Hermitage Quarry, both operating in accordance with the stringent measures set out in the Pollution Prevention Control (PPC) Permitting Regulations.

Imported inert waste material is used to infill the void and return the land back to original contours for agricultural use. At Hermitage Quarry progressive restoration of the void generated by quarrying is achieved through land filling utilising imported inert waste materials. This sustainable process of borrowing agricultural land from Gallagher Farms Limited, quarrying the underlying ragstone and then returning it to restored agricultural land of an equal quality represents a full cycle in land use.
