Disposal of Paint and Recyling of Wood and Chipboard

Description

Wolverhampton is a city with a population of 600,000 residents and circa 108,000 households. CWC operate two Household Waste and Recycling Centres with 15,000-20,000 visits to each site per month and a bulky waste collection service that collects from 500 households per month. The waste streams detailed in this exercise will be collected via these sources. This market exercise is focussing on the options available within the market for disposal options of the Wood, Chipboard and Paint collected by the service, and to gain an understanding of the market that is available, along with any information that will help and influence the service design prior to developing a disposal specification that will support the new service. We are particularly interested in any innovations to maximise recycling rates and optimise the potential for recycling and re-use to prevent landfill disposal.
