Residual waste.
Tipped properly.

Tip at Westcombe
Over the weighbridge, tip where the team directs you, and away.
Paperwork and invoicing
Duty-of-care documentation and itemised invoices that reconcile to your tickets.
One site, run as a whole
The transfer station and weighbridge at the front, the permitted landfill behind it, and the environmental systems that tie the two together.
- 01
Weighbridge & transfer station
Every vehicle crosses the weighbridge. The transfer station takes household, commercial and industrial waste and is where most customers tip.
- 02
Permitted landfill
Engineered cells for non-hazardous waste under permit EPR/QP3230LE, with completed areas restored using inert material.
- 03
Leachate
Collected, stored and treated on site, with controlled discharge and tankering where required, all within permit limits.
- 04
Landfill gas
Collected and managed in line with the permit to protect air quality and the site’s neighbours.
- 05
Monitoring & restoration
Groundwater, surface water, leachate and gas sampled on schedule, independently analysed and reported to the Environment Agency.
Small team. Straight answers.
Decades in landfill operations, waste transfer and compliance, and a habit of saying what we mean.
- 01
We answer the phone.
A real person who knows your account, your material and your drivers by name.
- 02
Told before you load, not at the weighbridge.
If a stream is not right for the site we say so at pre-acceptance, while it is still in your yard.
- 03
Rates per grade, agreed up front.
Priced by material and density, written down, and invoiced line by line so your records tie up.
- 04
Paperwork that stands up.
Weighbridge tickets and transfer documentation for every load, kept in line with the permit.
Somerset, through and through
Westcombe has been part of the land at Somerton since 1987. Our customers are Somerset skip firms, MRFs and contractors, and the waste they bring us is dealt with here in the county rather than being hauled halfway across the country.
