European Metal Recycling (EMR), headquartered in Warrington, UK, is a global leader in recycling, handling around 10 million tons of scrap metal each year from a wide range of sources delivered from the general public, local trade, industry and local authorities and they also collect on request, as well as provide a complete service to local industry in terms of their scrap/waste disposal routes.
The 1.25 acre Darlington site will add to the EMR presence in the North East with existing sites in Middlesbrough, Marske, Hartlepool, Blaydon, Burnopfield, Sunderland and Tyne Dock. To mark its new location, the site will fly an EMR blimp airship.
The new site incorporates a special depollution rig for the safe removal of engine oil, fuels and liquid from end of life vehicles prior to their recycling.
“As such we will play an important part in ensuring vehicles are disposed of safely, responsibly and efficiently, and we can pay the customer the best price” said area manager, Andrew Sheppard.
“But of course, it is not just old vehicles that EMR will be recycling. By providing a facility where both the general public and trades people can turn their waste metals into an income, we are confident that the plant will pay a significant role in improving the local environment.”
