Notice Description
Dumfries and Galloway Council's Waste Service is seeking to appoint Service Providers to receive, treat and/or dispose of a number of waste streams with a view to managing the waste in accordance with the waste hierarchy. The waste in question are three waste streams, offered in six separate lots, primarily from our Ecodeco Mechanical Biological Treatment (MBT) plant but also from waste transfer stations.
Lot Information

Upon receipt of the waste the Service Provider must manage this waste stream in full compliance with the waste hierarchy, the waste duty of care, and all applicable legislation and official guidance. This includes, but is not limited to, the forthcoming ban on landfilling biodegradable municipal waste (BMW) in Scotland and the restriction on incinerating residual waste without pre-treatment.
