    Do you know where your general waste ends up after collection by your Local Authority?

    Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at our London Transfer Station in Tower Hamlets to discover what happens next.

    Explore the variety of jobs connected to the river and learn how it serves as a sustainable transport route—helping to prevent over 100,000 lorry movements.

    Discover how general waste is transformed into electricity, reducing reliance on landfill.
