Description

Melton Borough Council: since 2012 domestic households within the Borough can have their green waste collected at the kerbside through a fortnightly opt- in chargeable subscription based service. 'The Melton Green Waste Club' is managed and operated by the Council's current private waste services contractor. For the purpose of this contract, bidders are advised that from October 2018 the Council will be bringing the garden waste collection service back under its own control. This is expected to be achieved through the development and establishment of its own chargeable garden waste collection service. Bidders are advised that the quantities of garden waste expected to be presented for collection may vary considerably, due to reasons that include: the change from an existing contractor managed service to a Council managed service; the potential to have a competing collection service remain within the Borough, and the fact that there are both annual and seasonal fluctuations in regards to the tonnages that might be collected. The collected green waste is currently taken to an on farm composter located in Sproxton. Melton Mowbray, which is an Environment Agency, approved composting facility. The expiry date of this existing arrangement is 30th September 2018.

Leicestershire County Council: make no guarantee of tonnage. Any tonnage that could potentially be delivered would be between 0 and 5,000 tonnes per annum. The estimated value could therefore be between £0 and circa £125,000 per annum. Any tonnage delivered is likely to be from RHWS within the Melton district or within Leicestershire.
