ECC is the Waste Disposal Authority for Essex and is responsible for the management of circa 350,000 tonnes of residual waste per annum. ECC works with 12 district and borough councils that make up the Waste Collection Authorities across Essex. This contract is being procured to ensure Contract Waste is disposed of through the most economic and sustainable solutions.
