The bid provides a local solution to Staffordshire's residual waste management needs as well as assisting the towns of Sandwell and Walsall and County of Warwickshire. A state of the art Energy Recovery Facility (ERF) is proposed at a site on the Four Ashes Industrial Estate that will provide forty long-term jobs, as well as contributing to the local economy.

Designed to handle 300,000 tonnes per annum of residual waste, the ERF will provide in excess of 23MW to the National Grid - sufficient to power 32,000 homes. It is scheduled for completion at the end of 2013 and will further increase landfill diversion in a county that already recycles over 44% of its waste.
