| Wheely clean lorries at Paulsgrove Waste lorries are making clean their tracks from the Paulsgrove Landfill site, Portsmouth, thanks to the installation of the latest in wheel wash machines by private waste contractors, Hampshire Waste Services. Representing an investment in excess of £150,000, the deluxe model with high pressure, metre high sprays is designed to remove all the mud from the complete undersides of commercial vehicles and their wheels. The lorries then pass through a further fresh water wash to clean off any remaining silt. The investment is part of the on-going improvements at Paulsgrove which are being undertaken after full discussion with a specially formed liaison committee of local residents. "Mud on the roads at Paulsgrove should be a thing of the past. This is a really effective high pressure wash and the lorries are coming out spotless" says Hampshire Waste Operations Director, Richard Bray, who adds that there is no escape from the site without first passing through the super new wheel wash. The re-routing of traffic is part of the improvement programme, with vehicles coming in one way and then out via the wheel wash and the weigh bridge. 21 May 1999 For further information please contact Keith Riley at Hampshire Waste Services on 01962 864000. |
