The first issue of Manvers Update from 3SE has been delivered to more than 18,000 households in the area. More details of the proposed scheme have also gone on display at public consultations sessions now being held. Please click here to download.

BDR stands for Barnsley Doncaster and Rotherham councils, who have joined together in a partnership to plan for the treatment of leftover household waste – that is what is left over when everything else has been recycled.

Public consultation is taking place on proposals for a new waste recycling centre on land at Bolton Road between Bolton-on-Dearne and Manvers.  The proposals follow the selection by the BDR Waste Partnership of 3SE – a partnership between Shanks Group PLC and Scottish & Southern Energy – as its preferred partner.

This website gives details of what is being proposed, latest developments, key dates, frequently asked questions and facts and figures on waste and recycling.

The BDR partners are also working together on a Development Plan Document or DPD, to help identify suitable locations for any new waste facilities. It is called the BDR Joint Waste Plan.

The DPD takes into account not just the leftover household waste from your black and grey bins, but also the much larger amount of waste produced by commerce and industry.
