Peterborough has planned to improve future waste and recycling services set out in the Integrated Waste 2020 Strategy and promoted to the community via a dedicated website www.65percentplus.co.uk. An investment of £74 million will ensure the Council achieves its target of increasing recycling levels to 65 per cent by 2020. Key investments are:
1. Energy from waste facility – design, build and operate a 65,000 tonne capacity energy-from-waste facility
2. New recycling centre – design, build and operate a 100,000 tonne capacity materials recycling facility
3. New contract for direct services by a process of competitive dialogue
4. Anaerobic Digestor to process food waste.
These developments, all on a single site, will cut the volume of rubbish taken to landfill by 95 per cent, produce renewable energy, e.g. electricity to the National Grid and provide a long-term, sustainable alternative to landfill.
Following a complete review of our waste and recycling collection service, the Council implemented a new four-day/week collection in November 2009. Employees now work extended 9.5 hour days from Tuesday to Friday with the following benefits:
