DISINFECTION
During the year a re-organisation in the Greater London
Council's method of refuse disposal resulted in the supply of steam
(previously produced as a bye-product) being no longer available
for the operation of the Disinfecting Plant at Waldo Road Depot.
Alternative methods of providing steam being uneconomic the
use of the plant was discontinued.
