This afternoon I was part of a small group of councillors visiting the site of the new energy-from-waste plant being built in Tullos, Aberdeen.

The plant will process non-recyclable waste from Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and Moray councils, and will produce electricity for the national grid and heat for a district heating network.

From 2025, new legislation means it will no longer be possible to landfill our waste. The three councils are working together to build the facility to process waste which cannot be recycled.

The plant is due to become operational later next year.
