Purpose

Services department manages eight landfill sites across Lancashire.

which collects and treats leachate, which is the liquid that drains
or "leaches" from a landfill and is an unavoidable product of

ensure the leachate is collected and treated prior to its safe
disposal into foul sewer to avoid pollution.
