Local Authority

The Welsh Government has issued a report that shows the destinations of recyclate collected by its local authorities.

The City of Edinburgh Council has awarded Palm Recycling a one-year extension to the kerbside recycling service it receives from the company.

A majority of local authorities opt for kerbside sort of materials when the choice of collection system is left to open competition, according to a new study.

Bin and box manufacturer Straight has been awarded an £800,000 contract to supply kerbside boxes and caddies to May Gurney’s recycling and waste service for Cheshire West and Chester Council.

Recycling and waste management company SITA UK has opened a new facility that will enable it to bulk up paper, cardboard, cans, glass and plastic bottles.

A report from the Welsh Audit Office has warned that arguments over the most suitable collection system for recycling in Wales are a “significant barrier” to increasing recycling rates.

A three-year contract has been awarded to Casepak to sort material from South Holland District Council.

Five local authorities in the North East have awarded Palm Recycling the contract to manage the recycling bring banks in the area.

Valpak is backing a project in the North East of England to encourage recycling of materials that are currently underperforming when it comes to their collection.
