  As supervisor I am responsible for managing the staff and plant operations at Ellington in vessel composting system where we currently process sub 50mm material from Newcastle City Councils waste collection. After being screened to sub 50mm at Byker's MBT waste recovery plant the material is transported by wagon to Ellington for it to be turned into compost and therefore diverting thousands of tons of waste otherwise destined for landfill. Ellington has recently had a six million pound refurbishment and upgrade to make it one of the most process efficient and environmentally friendly IVC's in the country. A team of one technician six operators and myself strive to create a positive work environment which delivers outstanding customer service through the efficient and effective composting and recovery of waste material at the site.
