Dry Recycling Services

The Authority operates a single stream kerbside dry recycling collection services and is looking for a supplier to haul the recyclables from the Waste Transfer Station to the supplier's Material Recovery Facility where it will be sorted for re-processing. The service required is fully outlined in the Specification (Annex 01). The WTS is located in Aylesbury and operated by the Authority. The Authority collects annually around 20 575 tonnes of dry recycling including glass, paper and cardboard, plastics, and metals. It expects the tonnage to increase year on year as the number of households within Aylesbury Vale increases, but does not guarantee any minima or maxima for the quantity of waste to be managed by the supplier each year. Approximately 98 % of service users (residents) are provided with a wheeled bin for the storage and collection of recycling waste. The Authority instruct service users (residents) to: (a) place recycling waste in the wheeled bin loose not bagged; (b) wash and squash cartons, plastic and cans; (c) flatten cardboard. Service users with limited access or storage for wheeled bins are provided with single use clear plastic sacks for the storage and collection of recycling waste. The Authority shall reserve the right to vary Schedule 1 of the T&Cs (the Specification) at any time during the Term to allow a Change (in accordance with the Change Control Procedure) to amend the services from a single stream recyclables collection to a multi-stream recyclables collection (‘the Collections Change’). This variation would be proposed and implemented by the Authority where process efficiencies, cost savings, environmentally friendly practices and/or general public benefits are identified and justified, or to comply with legislation. Any variation to the Charges for the Collections Change shall be implemented in accordance with Schedule 4 (Charges and Payment) of this Agreement.
