Residual waste and recycling is collected from all properties in the district primarily by means of 240 litre wheeled containers (standard for residual, fitted with inserts for paper recycling), with larger 1100 Litre containers in place at communal and commercial properties. Garden waste is collected from all properties in the district by means of a 240 litre wheeled container, other than communal blocks. Food waste is collected from all properties in the district via a 23 litre caddy.
Street Cleansing services are provided across the district at a variety of frequencies utilising 5 specialist Road Sweeping Vehicles, a 7.5 tonne Hi-ab tipper vehicle and 14 3.5 tonne tipper vehicles with lifts.
Interested parties should note that the vehicles will be need to be able to be fitted with an in-cab technology system including GPS and 360 degree cameras which will be required under a Council contract.
