Description

The contractor shall ensure the highest level of recycling is achieved, with waste sorted into marketable products that meet the standards of the paper and card recycling industry. Wigan Council collects approximately 11 000 tonnes of paper and card waste per annum. The solution will need to consider that the current contamination level is estimated at 8%.
