New Recycling & Waste Contracts for Hampshire Public Sector OrganisationsAttention all Hampshire County Council offices and schools, other public
sector organisations, and County Supplies’ customers in Hampshire!
Would you be interested in separate waste and recyclables collections
from your work place? If so, read
on … Hampshire County Council’s County Supplies, supported by the Natural
Resources Initiative and the Education Department, has set up an exciting and
groundbreaking waste and recycling contract.
This will enable all schools and other HCC premises, other public
sector organisations and County Supplies’ customers across the county, to
have their waste and recyclables collected separately, changing a waste
problem to a resource opportunity. The contract will start in April 2005, when mixed newspapers, magazines,
paper, cardboard, junk mail, cans and plastic bottles will be accepted in a
separate recyclables collection, reflecting and reinforcing Project
Integra’s household recycling system. This
is an excellent opportunity for Hampshire County Council to lead by example in
a countywide initiative to use resources efficiently and reduce landfill.
Detailed information will be sent to all schools in November, encouraging
them to sign up and play a key part in demonstrating their commitment to
sustainable resource management to the next generation.
Separating out recyclables will also reduce the financial impact of
sharply rising landfill tax over the next few years.
The success of the new dual collection service will depend on achieving
a high level of sign-up to the contract. Schools should check their current
arrangements now to allow sufficient notice for the termination of existing
contracts. If interested in this contract, schools, public sector organisations and
existing County Supplies’ customers in Hampshire are invited to contact
Julie Price at County Supplies on 01962 826910, or email julie.price@hants.gov.uk. |
