Elsewhere within the site complex, Viridor have also developed several other waste processing facilities, including an internal waste transfer station (to enable road going vehicles to avoid driving on to the waste mass and also to act as a buffer store during windy weather conditions) and [[Dunbar EfW (Oxwellmains EfW)]], which will eventually take over for the landfill when it closes. The site is also rail-connected and wastes for landfill disposal were received from [[Edinburgh City Council]] by rail until the related contract ended in 2018/9. | Elsewhere within the site complex, Viridor have also developed several other waste processing facilities, including an internal waste transfer station (to enable road going vehicles to avoid driving on to the waste mass and also to act as a buffer store during windy weather conditions) and [[Dunbar EfW (Oxwellmains EfW)]], which will eventually take over for the landfill when it closes.
