A RECYCLING plant which has a site in Bradford has opened up a new depot as part of its £15million expansion.

Associated Waste Management (AWM) officially opened a 200,000 sq ft materials recovery facility on Valley Farm Road in Stourton, Leeds, yesterday which will create a further 40 jobs.

The firm turns household and commercial waste and rubbish into energy and fuel, transporting it across the UK and Europe.

The company also has a £5m recycling plant in Canal Road which employs 56 people.
