National Recovery Infrastructure
Greyhound provides comprehensive waste and environmental services throughout Ireland. The company has built its foundation to operate through excellence and professionalism, innovative techniques and financial strength. Over the last five years it has invested heavily in recycling and recovery technology, and it now has the country's most advanced processing line to produce Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF). These assets enable Greyhound to offer a full range of waste management and environmental services to industrial, municipal and commercial customers. Greyhound now provides collection services throughout Greater Dublin as part of its contract to collect and process mixed dry recyclables from green bins Greyhound provides waste collection services to thousands of customers across Ireland, ranging in size from the single accounts to large national customers requiring comprehensive, one-source waste programmes to serve multi - locations.
The company operates three facilities - two in Dublin and one in Limerick - with a combined licensed capacity of handling 530,000 tonnes of waste With over 100 transfer vehicles, the company has one of the largest fleets in the country. Capacity management is a key driver, vehicles and operatives are scheduled for maximum utilisation and we use Global Positioning System (GPS) and disciplined programmes to bring improved efficiency to the process of waste collection Greyhound has taken a leadership role in promoting the recycling and reuse of materials that would otherwise end up in landfills. It diverts 90,000 tonnes of cardboard and paper and 15,000 tonnes of plastic from landfill into the recycling chain annually.
- These diversion rates are supplemented by its ability to produce a fossil-fuel substitute (Solid Recovered Fuel) from mixed dry and black bag waste for commercial customers. Over 90% of this was is recovered as a fuel, thus reducing industry's reliance on coal and gas
Greyhound partners with universities, government bodies and industries to develop closed-loop recycling programmes. It is currently working with Enterprise Ireland on one such project to deliver enhance plastic recycling in Ireland.
