New recycling machine boosts clean-up of Park

The 35-tonne machine is sorting 70,000 cubic metres of industrial and domestic waste from a 100-year-old tip under the sites of the VeloPark and Olympic Village.

Every day it is separating 500 tonnes of waste into piles of metal, concrete, soil and other materials, much of which will be reused elsewhere on the site or recycled elsewhere.

The recycling machine, alongside two new soil washing machines, keeps the ODA on track to meet its target of reusing or recycling over 90 per cent of demolition materials.

The ODA’s work to make London 2012 the greenest Games of modern times is supported by the Olympic Lottery Distributor, which today announced that over £200m has been raised for London 2012 through special National Lottery games.
