Hartlepool Borough Council, (HBC) requires a new dry recycling contract with a suitable organisation for the sorting, processing and sale to end markets of its dry recycling material resources. This contract must continue to support our existing fully co-mingled at the point of kerbside collection strategy.
HBC will undertake kerbside collection of recyclate in conventional refuse collection vehicles (RCV) but these vehicles will only operate within the Borough of Hartlepool boundary.
For practical purposes on the day of kerbside collection HBC will either tip RCV loads directly at:
• Contractor's MRF within Borough of Hartlepool boundary; or
• Agreed Transfer Station within Borough of Hartlepool boundary for further onward bulk transport by Contractor. HBC currently owns and operates a kerbside collected recyclate transfer station for bulking up purposes prior to transport to current MRF.
