Any bids received that do not meet this criteria will not be considered. In accordance with the Simpler Recycling agenda the Council seeks to limit to the absolute minimum any waste disposed to landfill. Although the Council recognises that some waste, (asbestos etc), would be disposed in such a manner. To the extent possible all waste collected is to be subjected to the waste hierarchy principles, with a view to maximise diversion from landfill. To the greatest extent possible the disposal of residual waste is to be managed in such a manner so as to provide energy recovery/generation and/or refuse derived fuel(s) or similar. For the purpose of providing the Services, the Provider shall supply and maintain all necessary vehicles, plant, equipment and labour, to facilitate compliance with this Agreement.",
