WRG acquire operations in Yorks and Lincs
"DONCASTER-based Waste Recycling Group (WRG) have acquired four properties together with related waste-management and quarrying activities from SITA Holding UK Ltd, along with certain of their subsidiaries, for a cash consideration of £8 million."
"The assets and businesses being acquired are: Barnsdale Bar/Cusworth Hill, a large operational landfill site and limestone quarry at Kirk Smeaton, north of Doncaster; North Hykeham, an operational landfill site in Lincolnshire; and Cridling Stubbs, a limestone quarry already operated by WRG’s Darrington Quarries subsidiary under a royalty arrangement."
"In total the properties have approximately 3.8 million m³ of fully consented landfill void with scope for expansion, subject to approvals. In addition there are reserves of 7.5 million tonnes of limestone with permission for extraction."
"Last year the Barnsdale Bar and North Hykeham sites received 339,000 tonnes of waste, of which approximately half was under long-term contracts with local authorities, and produced and marketed 600,000 tonnes of limestone."
