Waste Composition Analysis 2026

Tender description

The Council wishes to gain an up-to-date composition of its kerbside rubbish and commingled recycling streams, last undertaken in 2025. This data will be instrumental in informing the soft market testing, bidding evaluations, and implementation of our core municipal solid waste and anaerobic food digestion contracts commenced with Suez UK. In particular, we require the following: • General waste composition of the four bin streams, quantity of potentially recyclable materials in all bin streams (with a particular interest on food waste within the general waste stream) • Quantity and material composition of non-target recyclables and mixed waste in the 3 recycling bins streams • Identification of any potentially difficult to manage waste that might require alternative treatments • Identification and quantity of materials that might be covered by the proposed Deposit Return scheme and/or subject to extended producer responsibility Keywords: Waste Analysis, Waste Composition Analysis
