Who won: Food Waste (Anaerobic Digestion)

About this contract

Following the Simpler Recycling announcement in October 2023, the council is developing a new food waste service for implementation in line with statutory requirements from 31 March 2026. The council anticipates that its weekly food waste collection service will service all 114,000 properties via a mix of kerbside collections requiring both an internal food waste caddy, and a communal type collection service where internal caddies will be required for all properties, along with a communal type of external container. The City of Wolverhampton Council anticipate the requirement to dispose of between 5000 and 10000 tonnes of food waste (residents who recycle their food waste are unlikely to be able to capture it all). Further compositional analysis work will be undertaken by the council in the coming months to confirm this. No food waste delivered and received by the Provider shall be directly for disposal other than by anaerobic digestion. Once collected or delivered, the contracts will ensure that the waste is disposed of, or recycled, in a manner that is compliant with current waste legislation and aims to increase the Council's recycling rate.
