Food Waste Treatment Services

The Council has a statutory duty to collect and arrange for the receipt and disposal of household waste and other waste arising within Bath and North East Somerset. This includes domestic waste collected direct from householders at the kerbside and waste taken to its three Household Waste Recycling Centres.

A weekly Food Waste collection service is offered to the majority of homes in the district, Food Waste recycling bins are positioned for use at its three Recycling Centres and a separate Food Waste collection offered to the Council's commercial waste customers. These services are well established, with good capture rates. However, the Council has aspirations to improve on performance, offer all homes a collection service and divert further Food Waste for Treatment as part of this contract.

This contract is for the receipt and treatment of Contract Waste commencing on 1st March 2022 and continuing for an Initial Term of 7 years with an option for the Council to extend the Contract for up to a further 3 years.
