Waste Transfer Station
View work schedule
As part of the Brent Cross West station programme we are providing a replacement waste facility for the Hendon Waste Transfer Station, the site of which is needed for redevelopment. Operations ceased at Hendon Waste Transfer Station on 31 March 2021, and the site was handed back to Barnet Council on 13 December 2021.
The Brent Cross Waste Transfer Station will accept household waste, street sweepings, recycling and food waste from the seven North London Waste Authority boroughs, but principally Barnet and Camden.
The new centre will handle up to 195,000 tonnes of black bag, mixed recycling, food and street cleaning waste each year.
Sustainability will inform the design of the new waste facility, with a ‘brown roof’ providing a haven for local wildlife and supporting local biodiversity such as bumblebees and the Black Redstart. To minimise impact on residents it will have state-of-the-art odour control technology. There will also be green screening to enhance local flora and improve air quality.
McLaughlin & Harvey were appointed as the main works contractor in December 2021
Main works to demolish the unused Hendon Transfer Waste Station, behind Brent Terrace, are expected to take place towards the end of 2024, with as minimal disruption as possible, including no construction works over the Christmas period (Saturday 21 December 2024 to Sunday 5 January 2025).
We will try to minimise disruption as much as possible by ensuring the following:
- Works will be restricted to construction hours 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and 8am to 1pm on Saturdays.
- Noise and air pollution (dust, etc.) will be monitored and reduced as much as possible.
- Vehicle movements will not affect Brent Terrace South.
