Bonnington Hotel at Gillette Corner, generally.

As part of the detailed design process the design team, with Bonnington Hotels, will undertake a waste review to access the quantity and type of waste produced and to develop a waste management programme.

The aims will be:

• Reduce the quantity of waste produced by avoiding natural wastage as well as disposable and over packaged goods, and by encouraging suppliers to change production processes to generate fewer unusable bi-products.
• Re-use items in their original form for the same or a different purpose. Refillable bottles, cloth towels and laundry bags, washable napkins and rechargeable batteries, along with many other products, can be used many times.
• Recycle. Waste materials can be extracted to meet a market demand.
• As a first part of this programme the estimated total daily waste generation will be calculated split typically as non recoverable (refuse), paper, plastics, packaging (cardboard), aluminium, glass and steel.

Waste Management Facilities

Close to the collection bay, located in the North West corner of the hotel, will be the facility to deposit non-segregated and segregated waste streams in a waste room. Currently we are proposing that Eurocarts be used as the depositories and the means of collection. Waste would be collected on a daily basis but the storage capacity will allow for peaks and waste generation and for potential disruption to collection services.

• For cardboard recycling a compactor will be used.
• There will also be a safe area set aside for chemicals, such as those in relation to housekeeping and engineering maintenance.
• In addition to segregated and non segregated waste there will be a chilled waste room for the storage of food waste from the kitchens.

Waste Collection Vehicle Access

The collection for the waste will be by using the service bay at the back of the hotel coming off the access road, which in turn comes off Harlequin Way and Syon Lane. The design for this will ensure safe access and egress from the site for the vehicles, always in a forward direction. Also in this bay will be provision for a bin wash, with high pressure hose and gulley.

For the business units, at outline design stage, the collection points for the refuse will be located so as to minimise travel distance to the waste collection vehicles that will be able to service the area off Harlequin Avenue and the new access road off it and Syon Lane. Again, this will be done in such a way that the vehicles are able to make their collections so as to minimise hazards. This will be studied in detail and in consultation with the Local Authority when detailed design proposals are made.
