Waste will also require to be collected from a Council operated Waste Transfer Station located at Castlehill Industrial Estate, Carluke. The amount of waste to be collected from Carluke Waste Transfer Station is estimated to be 28 000 tonnes per annum. The contract duration will be 10 years, with the option to the Council to extend for up to a further 5 years. The Services to be procured will be required from 1.4.017. The procurement will assist the Council in fulfilling its obligations under the following: The Landfill Council Directive (1999/31/EC) - The European Waste Framework Directive (2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council) - Scotland's Zero Waste Plan - The Waste (Scotland) Regulations 2012- Landfill Tax (Scotland) Act 2014 - Climate Change (Scotland) Act 2009- South Lanarkshire Council Policies and Plans.
