WP3442A - Dry Mixed Recycling Negotiated Procedure

The Council wishes to procure a service for the haulage (provisional item) and processing of Dry Mixed Recyclable (DMR) waste. The current annual output is circa 24,000 tonnes of DMR waste, however, this figure cannot be guaranteed or fixed, as quantities will vary from year to year.

The Council's general domestic, co-mingled dry recycling and garden waste collection services are operated in-house. The household dry recycling kerbside collection is a fortnightly collection from households in the Council Area. The Council currently operates a co-mingled collection system with materials collected in wheeled bins.

o Newspapers and magazines; o Junk mail, greeting cards, envelopes, wrapping paper; o Yellow pages, telephone directories, paperback books; o Writing paper, printer paper; o Shredded paper; o Cardboard and corrugated boxes; o Cereal boxes, washing powder boxes; o Milk or fruit juice cartons; o Plastic or cardboard egg boxes; o Plastic bottles; o Margarine tubs, yoghurt pots; o White ready meal food trays, clear fruit trays; o Carrier bags; o Food and drinks cans, aerosol cans; o Clean foil (from a roll and foil dishes); o Glass bottles and jars;
