Provision of Cumbria Master Composter Volunteer Scheme
Authority: Cumberland Council (Local council)
What is being bought2 lots · detail below
Published requirement descriptionCumberland Council is responsible for the disposal of around 245,000 tonnes of household waste collected by Cumberland and Westmorland and Furness councils.
Both Cumberland and Westmorland and Furness councils have a statutory duty to manage this waste following the waste hierarchy of maximising waste reduction, reuse and recycling, including composting as a priority order before waste disposal.
Waste reduction including food waste reduction and composting of food and garden waste are therefore priorities
The purpose of this tender is to appoint a contractor to develop and deliver a Compost Volunteer Scheme to support the delivery of The Councils’ waste reduction programme.
The aim of the scheme is to encourage householders to compost their food and garden waste thereby reducing the amount of biodegradable waste needing collection and treatment through the Council’s waste treatment plants.
