Powderhall Incinerator, now Waste Transfer Station  -  Built 1970

In 1985, when land-fill became more economic that incineration, the incinerator was converted to a waste transfer station, compacting rubbish for land-fill.

From 1985, the rubbish was sent to Kaimes Quarry, S Edinburgh.        Since 1997 it has been sent to Kaimes East Barns near Dunbar, East Lothian.
