GARDEN WASTE SERVICES INFORMATION

The Council operates a fortnightly collection of Garden Waste from households within the District for a charge. Approximately 13,000 residents are currently subscribed to wheeled bin collections, with further residents purchasing pre-paid paper sacks to place out Garden Waste on a fortnightly basis.

The Council also collects Garden Waste from households within the District through bulk skips at its three Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs) at the following sites, Pixash Lane in Keynsham, Midland Road in Bath and Old Wheelers Hill in Radstock, free of charge.

The Contractor shall treat by way of open windrow, in-vessel composting or anaerobic digestion, or variants under this terminology, the Garden Waste collected and delivered to the Treatment Site by or on behalf of the Council.

The Garden Waste which requires Processing as part of the Contract will comprise of the following types of material (this is not an exhaustive list) :

• Grass cuttings • Hedge and tree clippings • Prunings • Small branches • Weeds • Leaves • Dead plant material • Soil bound roots

The Council collects Garden Waste at the kerbside in either 240L wheeled bins or biodegradable paper sacks. The Contractor should therefore be aware that these sacks will be present in the Garden Waste and will need to be accepted for Processing as part of this Contract
