Envac estimates that the system will replace hundreds of daily
empties required to service 19,000 bins, made possible by having
eight industrial vehicles running full time every day.
Dave Buckley, Managing Director of Envac UK, adds: “We are now
beginning to see a huge shift in the way major developments tackle
waste collection. Whilst Envac can be used as a way in which to free
up space generally assigned to bin storage for further commercial
development, such as building more apartments, Barking Riverside
London has taken the decision to install it simply because they
want to make the site as pleasant a place to live as possible. As
London’s population continues to rise and the physical and
aesthetical limitations of rolling out more bins becomes apparent,
Barking Riverside London has not only demonstrated a strong and
long-term commitment to the environment, but also the residents
and the communities it will ultimately serve.”
The system is one of over 800 installations to have been built since
the company formed in 1961, has a lifespan of between 60 to 80
years and remains operational 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
