Refuse recycling services

Tender description

Lewisham is in a unique position in that it incinerates most of its residual waste and as such doesn't have the same drivers as many other local authorities in terms of having to divert biodegradable municipal waste from landfill. However, Lewisham does have a clear vision with key values ensuring that waste is managed sustainably. The Contractor shall provide a service for the processing (sorting and sale) of Lewisham Council's Mixed Dry Recyclables. This should include as a minimum paper, cardboard, food and drinks cans including aerosols, glass bottles and jars, plastic bottles and mixed plastic packaging, which are collected from the London Borough of Lewisham's bring sites, estates and kerbside collections. The Contractor shall be required to work in partnership with the Council to ensure maximum recycling performance is achieved through this Contract.
