## Notice

The Council operates an MRF facility in Cardiff which processes approx. 35,000 tonnes of Dry Mixed Recyclate (DMR) per year, however due to limitations of the facility it requires a third party to collect and transport any excess DMR to a facility to be sorted and recycled on its behalf.

### Lot Information

The Council is encouraged to divert waste away from landfill so that it can be reused or recovered. 1.2 Cardiff Council collects approximate 750 tonnes of residential Dry Mixed recyclables (DMR) each week in green co-mingled plastic bags from the kerbside. 1.3 Cardiff Council operate our own Materials Reclamation Facility (MRF) which currently operates two shifts and has the capacity to process approximately 600 tonnes of the residential waste per week. 1.4 The Authority requires an arrangement, through a third party, for the processing, reuse/recycling and disposal of their municipal DMR waste. 1.5 The Contractor will arrange for collection and haulage of contract waste from the Waste Transfer Station (WTS) at Lamby Way site, Rumney, Cardiff, CF3 2HP and the safe and compliant transportation of the waste to their designated licensed treatment facility (ies). 1.6 The Service Provider shall be fully responsible for the waste on collection.
