Textile Waste Recycling Contract

Description

As a Waste Disposal Authority (WDA) DCC is responsible for the disposal of waste that the District Councils of Devon collect, known as Local Authority Collected Waste (LACW). DCC works in partnership with all 8 District Councils in Devon as well as the unitary authority of Torbay. The partnership, known as DASWC (The Devon Authorities Strategic Waste Committee), consists of representatives at both officer and councillor level from all Devon District Councils and Torbay Council. The role of the committee is to promote recycling across the county, and to fund small projects by the pooling of funding. It also co-ordinates joint county wide contracts for paper, glass and textiles and thereby allowing each authority to achieve a better deal through economy of scale. The current contract for the processing of the Local Authorities Collected textile waste will expire and therefore will require re-tendering. This contract has been generating an income to DASWC members from the sale of the waste material.
