The name is a bit of a mouthful, but Millerhill Recycling and Energy Recovery Centre (Millerhill RERC) is basically a power station that turns rubbish into electricity - all without creating any pollution. A worthy thing? Absolutely. So when the camera group got the chance of a guided tour, we accepted enthusiastically. Our guide started off by giving us an overview of what they do at the centre (keep 155.000 tons of waste per year out of landfill, and generate enough electricity to power 30,000 homes) and then took us on a fascinating tour of the whole facility.
