Model waste and recycling collection contract
Overview
Sound contracts are important factors in ensuring efficient and effective waste and resource recovery collection systems.
The Model Waste and Recycling Collection Contract is a tool to help councils streamline the tendering process and deliver a quality service.
The Model Waste and Recycling Collection Contract and accompanying User Guide, is a comprehensive tendering package which covers every aspect of writing a contract, from information for tenderers to specifications and tender return schedules. It was developed in consultation with councils, collection contractors, and industry.
