Green Waste Treatment

Description

The Council wishes to invite tenders for the supply of services in respect of a Primary Delivery Point for Green Waste. This may be a facility where the Council’s Green Waste will be treated, or this may be a facility where the Council’s Green Waste will be bulked up for onward haulage to a Secondary Facility where it will be treated. The Council’s Waste Collection Contractor collects organic garden waste from 240 litre wheeled bins from the majority of Rutland households, i.e. excluding properties where waste collections are from larger communal bins and a very small number of properties where waste collections are bagged. For the purpose of this Agreement, all such organic garden waste is defined as the Council’s Kerbside Green Waste. The Council suspends its Kerbside Green Waste collections for: a. three weeks in each December; and b. two weeks at the start of each January; and c. two weeks at the start of each February. The Council’s Kerbside Green Waste will be directly delivered to the Delivery Points in refuse collection vehicles, with the Council’s Kerbside Green Waste being subject to compaction. The Council also accepts organic garden waste at two Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs). For the purpose of this Agreement this material is defined as the Council’s HWRC Green Waste. The Council’s HWRC Green Waste will be delivered to the Delivery Points in ‘roll on roll off’ containers, with the Council’s HWRC Green Waste sometimes being subct to compaction. Both the Council’s Kerbside Green Waste and the Council’s HWRC Green Waste shall be collectively defined as the Council’s Green Waste. The Council’s Green Waste will be subject to seasonal variations in waste flows. Materials excluded from the Council’s Green Waste material, which will be considered Residue, are: a. significant volumes of aggregate/inert waste/rubble; b. food waste (excluding windfall fruit); c. plastic e.g. garden furniture, plant pots, plastic bags; d. significant volumes of soil; e. significant volumes of turf; and f. any other materials not referenced under the definition of Green Waste. For further details please see the full specification. Lot 1: The Council wishes to invite tenders for the supply of services in respect of a Primary Delivery Point for Green Waste.
