Gatehead Council's Local Environment Services (Waste Services) required a waste transfer facility with the capacity to handle 250 tonnes of waste each day. According to the brief, local waste collection vehicles would need to deposit daily household waste collections for storage before being loaded onto larger vehicles for transportation to a landfill site or reclamation unit.

Rubb provided a 30m (98ft) span x 30m (98ft) long BVE building with 6m (20ft) sidewalls. At one gable end the PVC cladding was removed and replaced with an anti-litter netting system, which allows an increase in airflow through the building. The building in the north east of England was constructed within a sixteen week programme.
