- Wolverhampton City Council
Procurement identifier (OCID): ocds-h6vhtk-0519a9
Description
The council requires a contract for the haulage and processing of dry mixed recycling (DMR). This is a statutory requirement and to maintain the operation of the city's domestic and commercial kerbside collection services and also allows households the opportunity to deliver their household recycling to the councils Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRC's). The council also provides recycling skips at its retail markets for traders to dispose of recycling waste.
The kerbside collection service, HWRC and retails markets services currently collect the recycling as single steam dry mixed recycling meaning that all paper, cardboard, cans, bottles and tins are collected in one bin or skip. This recycling is taken to the waste transfer station, located in Crown Street, WV1 to be checked for contamination and loaded into walking floor heavy goods vehicles to go to the providers materials recycling facility.
21,000 tonnes of recycling was collected in 2024/2025, with a similar amount projected for 2025/2026.
Once at the providers materials recycling facility, the collected materials are processed and separated into specific material streams that are then sold or sent for re-use and recycling. Where this cannot happen, the waste material is disposed of via energy from waste or landfill
