Revised lorry movement figures

SITA have clarified the revised lorry movement figures for the proposed composting facility at Tormarton, reflecting the fact that from next year green bins will be collected weekly rather than fortnightly. They are:

14 collection vehicles, doing 2 collection rounds & deliveries per day = 28 deliveries per day = 56 movements

2 "widget" (narrow access) collection vehicles doing 1 round & delivery each per day = 2 deliveries = 4 movements

3 bulkers per day removing compost product = 6 movements. Compost removal will remain the same regardless of weekly or fortnightly collections

Total HGV movements per day = 66 movements per day for weekly collection of organic waste

In addition there will be 6 staff generating 12 light vehicle movements per day.

SITA have still to provide the detailed breakdown of the routes those lorries will be using.
