CBC's recycling material bulking operation is managed by Ubico Ltd - a local authority company of which CBC is a shareholder, and the material sales is managed by the Joint Waste Team (JWT) which works on behalf of the Gloucestershire Joint Waste Committee (GJWC) of which CBC is a partner. The GJWC has oversight and responsibility for waste management, recycling and street care services for Cheltenham Borough Council, Cotswold District Council, Forest of Dean District Council, Tewkesbury Borough Council and Gloucestershire County. The Committee is a body with delegated powers to make decisions concerning the recycling waste collection and street cleansing services for the four district and borough councils and to deliver waste treatment and disposal for the County.
