A report seeking approval of a procurement exercise for the treatment and/or disposal of municipal residual waste.

Cabinet Portfolio Holder – Councillor Heather Timms

Councillor Heather Timms (Portfolio Holder for Environment, Climate & Culture) advised Cabinet that this report set out the contracting process to secure disposal or treatment for the residual waste arising in the east Warwickshire.  The process was in line with the municipal waste management strategy agreed by all the district and borough councils and the County Council and the procurement would be undertaken by a multidisciplinary team of internal officers.  The Council continued to seek ways to reduce waste and recycle as much as possible.

Councillor Peter Butlin noted that the government’s paper on waste management was awaited.

Resolved

That Cabinet

1.     authorises the undertaking of a procurement exercise for the treatment and/or disposal of municipal residual waste as set out in this report.

2.     authorises the Strategic Director for Communities, in consultation with the Portfolio Holder for the Environment, Climate and Culture, to award the contract and to enter into any legal agreements necessary to implement the contract on terms and conditions acceptable to the Strategic Director for Resources.
