Criquetot-l'Esneval: a new flat-bottom recycling center enters service

Published 16 / 04 / 2026

The new recycling center in Criquetot-l'Esneval, recently highlighted in Le Havre-Paris Normandy, marks an important development in the management of waste in the territory.

Replacing the old waste disposal site from the 1990s, this new facility, which will be put into service on April 13, 2026, is part of a modernization and improvement process for welcoming both users and staff.

A flat waste disposal site, simpler and safer

This site adopts the concept of flat waste disposal siteThis is an alternative to traditional dockside facilities. Users now deposit their waste directly on the ground, which improves ergonomics, reduces the risk of falls, and makes the site more intuitive to use.

GILLARD equipment at the heart of the system

The operation of this new generation waste disposal site relies on GILLARD equipment:

• ORK Compactors : With its 30 m³ storage capacity, this compactor efficiently processes all types of waste (wood, scrap metal, cardboard, pallets, etc.) and improves productivity while reducing logistics costs.
• Universal bearing tracks : Adapting to all skips and compactors, universal track systems ensure precise and secure guidance, while facilitating maneuvers and providing lasting protection for infrastructure.
• Loading systems HULK 1 et HULK 2 : These loading systems allow for safe and efficient ground loading of various types of waste into removable skips, suitable for flat landfill sites and professional sites.

These solutions optimize waste management, improve site performance and facilitate the daily work of staff.

Beyond ergonomics and safety, this type of installation also optimizes the overall logistics of the site, particularly through the reduction of waste volume and better organization of transport rotations.

This project therefore illustrates the transition towards more modern, more efficient recycling centers that are better integrated into their environment.
