Kent's newest state-of-the-art Household Waste
Recycling Centre (HWRC) opened its doors to the public at 8am on
1st September 2008.
Kent's first undercover recycling centre, managed
by Waste Recycling Group Ltd on behalf of Kent County Council, aims
to recycle over 70% of the materials local residents bring. The
Pepperhill site expects 300,000 visits across the 362 days a year
that it is open to customers and offers a wide range of recycling
facilities. This new site will help contribute towards Kent County
Council's aim to increase the recycling rate across all 18 HWRCs to
60% by 2012.
Pepperhill aims to provide a customer orientated
service, as not only is the site enclosed so visitors can dispose
of their household waste in comfort, protected from the elements,
but it also provides a meet and greet service to help customers
make full use of the sites facilities.
A new drive-through system has been created to
provide ease of unloading for the public, with bright icons
directing customers to the right areas for their waste.
 We have two goals for this new site; for the
recycling and composting rate to be as high as can be and for
customers to have a good experience every time they use the
site. The new HWRC is a demonstration of our commitment to
deliver high quality services to residents that represent
value for money.
