Issue details

Waste wood collection and recycling

Waste wood is collected separately from a number of sources and delivered to Chelson Meadow refuse transfer station. Here the wood is bulked and transported to a third party processing site for recycling.

The previous contract for processing waste wood has expired and there is currently no formal agreement on place to recycle this material.

The proposal is to secure a contract to collect and recycle waste wood arising from PCC’s activities for a period of 5 years by way of a competitive tender process
It is recommended that approval be given to undertake the procurement of a new contract for the collection and recycling of waste wood and the award of the contract is delegated to Service Director for Street Services.
