Tender description
The installation of five solar compacting litter bins is proposed at the following locations along the FHDC coastal strip: The Stade, Folkestone (1), Mermaid Beach, Folkestone (1), West Parade, Hythe (1), Slip-way, Dymchurch (1), and Littlestone Car Park, Littlestone (1). These compacting bins are required to hold more waste than standard bins, offering increased capacity due to their compaction functionality. This is anticipated to be a one-off purchase, with an initial five-year software license per bin, after which the licenses will need to be renewed annually.
