Welbeck Landfill Site


Welcome to the Welbeck landfill website. Welbeck landfill is a former gravel pit to the east of Wakefield which has been operating as a landfill site for over 10 years. Through landfilling, a large area of derelict land (approximately 100 hectares) will be reclaimed for public benefit. This would not have been economically viable without the use of this area for the disposal of waste from Wakefield and the surrounding areas.

Building on its well-established track record in energy recovery, WRG is now taking an innovative approach to finding additional ways to use its landholding to help generate renewable energy in the UK.

WRG is committed to helping the UK meet its renewable energy targets and reduce its carbon emissions. Recognising that the UK has the best wind resource in Europe - and could meet at least 40 per cent of its electricity requirements through on-and-off-shore wind power generation - WRG has reached the conclusion that developing wind turbines on appropriate and existing landfill sites is the next logical step for the company to take.
