Clover Nook
The Clover Nook Waste Transfer Station has been constructed and is operational.
It receives up to 50,000 tonnes per annum of Derbyshire’s Municipal Solid Waste delivered by waste collection vehicles from Amber Valley Borough Council, Bolsover District Council, Chesterfield Borough Council, Derbyshire Dales District Council and North East Derbyshire District Council. This local facility will reduce the amount of vehicles needed to transport waste collected from the doorstep to its final disposal / treatment point – minimising carbon dioxide emissions and providing financial savings.
H W Martin Waste Ltd operates this facility.

The facility covers an area of approximately 1.2 hectares (2.97 acres) and includes:
- a new waste handling building
- a weighbridge
- a new gatehouse
- sufficient purpose-built storage to hold 4 average days inputs
- offloading areas for gully waste for dewatering, road sweepings, street cleansing and a steel container to store low hazardous clinical waste
- in-built safety systems to ensure that risks associated with on site traffic movements and tipping are eliminated
There are approximately 54 traffic movements to and from the facility per day. All handling of waste takes place inside enclosed buildings and waste isn’t stored or handled in the open air. The buildings have been designed to minimise and control any smells. Odour control sprays have been installed on all doors. Waste delivered to the transfer station is loaded onto larger trucks for onward transportation within 24 hours to help prevent the generation of smells. The facility has also been designed to minimise noise and there is no waste processing or sorting machinery on the site.
