2526-0151 Islington Food Waste Recycling Bin Housing Units

Tender description

Islington Council aims to procure140 litre steel bin housing units specifically for food waste suitable for accommodating 140 litre two wheeled lidless bins. These units will be located on the public pavement for use by residents residing in properties that do not have space to store a food waste recycling bin within the curtilage of their own property. These are generally flats above shops (FLASH properties), or purpose-built blocks without room for communal food waste recycling bins. The project should be completed by 31 March 2026 to comply with the Environment Act 2021 which necessitates the collection of food waste separate from general waste. There are approximately 12,000 FLASH properties which will require an estimated 500-700 food waste recycling units.
