The Green Lane Eco-Dump is planned for the patch of industrial land on Green Lane which used to be the old Mitchell and Shackleton factory land. Sky properties are keen to state that this land is industrial and have paid little attention to it’s proximity to residential properties.
What is proposed?

The Green Lane Eco Park is aimed at contributing to sustainable waste management in the Greater Manchester area by treating and managing around 240,000 tonnes per year of local business waste through a combination of facilities:
- A Materials Recovery Facility (MRF), with a capacity of around 100,000 tonnes per year, to sort and extract dry recyclable materials such as paper, cardboard, glass and cans ready for reprocessing into new products. For further information on MRFs, please use the following link http://www.wrap.org.uk/
- An Anaerobic Digestion plant (AD), with a capacity of around 60,000 tonnes per year, to process food and other biodegradable waste to generate renewable energy. For further information on AD, please use the following link http://www.biogas-info.co.uk/
- An Energos Gasification plant, with a capacity of around 80,000 tonnes per year, to convert residual, non-recyclable waste into renewable energy in the form of heat and power. For further information on Gasification, please use the following link http://www.energos.com/
How close is it to residential property?
The site is within approximately 50 metres of homes and a Children’s play area sited on Shackleton St.:
