I’ve been working out of Tilbury all week and have noticed Maritime pulling a new ( to me anyway ) type of container .
These are all blue 40’ , unbranded boxes with what looks like a handle mechanism on the side that operates what i presume to be a way to open the top of the box . The top is not tarpaulin , but steel .
I have’nt seen these before but there seems to be a steady stream of them coming out of the dock . So, what’s the story ■■? New contract for someone ? What’s in them ■■
Understandable if you can’t say due to the loads being high value or miltary use , but you CAN tell me , I’m ex Regiment , was on the balcony and know all about the Boathouse I was also late for “that” ferry once due to being coned off on a bay
Not exactly high value shade. Household rubbish goes in those. They’re bulk tipping boxes. Exported to Holland to be burnt for household energy in Amsterdam

Why on earth are the Dutch paying to export & burning our rubbish to create cheap household energy and we aren’t?

Cretins.
When the NIMBY’s let us build more of these we will be able to create our own energy!

But do you want one in your back garden, and all the big dirty lorries that go there every day!
the one in Amsterdam is in the Westport industrial area well on the out skirts of the dam.
In the Netherlands they keep industry and urbanisation separate
It’s not theirs anymore,
This is our England now.
Paaaaarrrrrrttttttttyyyyyyyy
Martin has it spot on. In this country we are all a bit guilty of nimbyism. I would not want one near me. Not for the lorries. Just because of the smell. I do think we should have them. Just stuff the green belt brigade and put them in the middle of nowhere
I once took a group of councilperson’s (8 years out of the job and the retraining still holds )to a waste to heat plant in Nottingham that burnt household waste to heat homes and other buildings in the surrounding area and i’m sure that was very urban and i seem to recall that this was a old idea dating back many years
They export our rubbish now, as its cheaper than land filling it. £48 currently, x 26 tonnes = £1248.
Will be alot cheaper to send it to any 3rd world country that will accept it.

That sounds like the same bs as Londoners use when they think it’s ok to sustain the place’s ridiculous level of immigration and population growth by zb’ing up all the countryside areas around the place with motorways and housing estates and refuse dumps incinerators etc because they don’t want it all in their own back yard.The fact is the green belt areas do have people living near to them and are mostly (with the excpeption of places like Southern Essex ) there for a reason,to protect what’s left of the countryside near to cities from further damage.Although that doesn’t stop the London zb’s from still wanting to wreck what’s left of it by wanting it filled with more zb housing or to dump/burn their rubbish in or to put orbital motorways like the M 25 through.
If we’ve got to have them the place for refuse incinerators is in those areas that are already subject to industrial development like steelworks and chemical works and refineries where it won’t make much difference to anyone.The problem is that the councils don’t want to pay the money to transport the stuff.
However if you don’t want an incinerator near you then why the zb should those who live near to green belt areas put up with the zb instead.

Totally agree I moved from London to get away from the zb. Do’nt want their ethnically diversified populations crap in my countryside thankyou
We burn it here too for energy. Well they do at Colnbrook, you can see the facility from M25 / M4 it’s right on Junction 15.
However I say we, the Jap’s actually paid for it to be built here. Grundon’s I think run the facility, so I imagine we buy the energy back at a very high rate, as well as sending the rubbish there too for a price
However as everyone said above Nimby’s will always stop these things being used efficiently for the good of the country as a whole
Well Carryfast, at least we agree that everyone has nimbyitus. I don’t expect them to put a site near someones house, that was the point of the post. If they can’t find a 2 square mile radius with no residents in every county, then I suppose we’ll have to sell the stuff

I think the emmissions from refuse burning incinerators affect a much bigger area than just 2 square miles and why wreck decent countryside and affect the local environment of places like what remains of Surrey when they can just build fewer,but really massive,refuse burning incenerators in already industrialised zb holes like those in South Essex around Stanford Le Hope,Teesport etc etc where the addition of just one more nasty neighbour,in the form of a zb great big rubbish burning power station or two,isn’t going to make any difference at all to anyone.
With the national grid there really isn’t any need to put loads of small refuse burning power stations in decent areas all over the country in every county when they can just build a few really big ones where no one could really care less what they put there.
But in my experience the worst NIMBY’s are Londoners who support immigration and endless growth in it’s population levels etc but then want everyone else outside the zb hole of a place to take the results and the Northerners and Scottish who don’t seem so keen on taking their fair share of the country’s population by subjecting places like the Highlands and the North Yorkshire Dales or the ■■■■■■■■ Lake District to the same type of massive urbanisation levels and infrastructure development as we’ve had to put up with in the countryside of the South East ‘Home Counties’ over the years.
switchlogic:
LondonWaste EcoPark in Edmonton is a waste incinerating power station
The idea of that overdeveloped overpopulated zb hole trying to make out that it’s green and eco anything says everything about the hypocricy of the so called green eco zb’s.
