two.1.4) Short description
a) South Oxfordshire District Council and Vale of White Horse District Council (the Councils) operate a shared household waste collection service. This is currently subject to a contractual arrangement with a company that lease a site that includes a waste transfer facility. This situation will change going forwards.
b) Through the shared collection contract, the Council’s currently provide separate kerbside collection of co-mingled dry recycling, food waste, garden waste and residual waste and are in the top 5 local authorities in the country for recycling performance.
c) The current waste transfer facilities are only used for ‘Dry Mixed Recyclate’ (DMR) which is the co-mingled recyclable waste stream. The non-recyclable (residual), garden waste and food waste all have existing in-district drop-off points and aren’t included in the contract being tendered.
d) The current transfer station is not secured for the long-term. Therefore, the Councils are seeking alternative transfer provision.

two.2.4) Description of the procurement
a) The DMR is currently fully co-mingled, so includes all plastics (except for polystyrene, PVC, other hard plastics and plastic film), cans and tins, glass, cartons (including Tetrapaks) and paper and card. Small electricals, household batteries and textiles are also collected in smaller quantities using baskets under the body of the RCVs.
b) The average amount of DMR currently collected annually by both councils combined is 28,000 tonnes. This translates to twenty to twenty-five vehicle drops per day.
c) Whilst the population of the two districts continues to grow, measures in the Environment Act around Extending Producer Responsibilities and the Deposit Return Scheme means the expectation is that tonnages will remain at between 25,000 and 30,000 tonnes per annum.
