Commercial waste collection contract

You are invited to submit a quote for the supply and servicing of a compactor container for the Parks Department of Henley Town Council, based at 357 Reading Road, Henley-on-Thames, RG9 4HA.

The Parks Department is responsible for disposing of the waste from the Council's parks, open spaces, and buildings, as well as generating waste from its own operations. The waste is currently disposed of using a 13-yard compactor container, which is emptied weekly. The total waste produced is currently estimated in the region of 69 tonnes per year, with seasonal variation, i.e. increased use of the parks in summer generating more litter.

In addition to the compactor, the Council also has two 1100 litre bins for recycling, which are collected fortnightly.

Our parks and open spaces include popular visitor attractions, and it is anticipated that their use will increase, and therefore the amount of waste generated will increase as well.

Details on how to apply included in attached invitation to tender.
