Waste Management and Confidential Document Destruction Services for Shropshire Council

Shropshire Council is seeking a single waste management supplier to provide recycling and waste collection services across approximately 35 council-owned and operated sites throughout Shropshire. The contract includes weekly or fortnightly scheduled collections of dry-mixed recycling (paper, cardboard, metals, plastics, glass), residual waste, food waste, and secure collection and destruction of confidential wastepaper. The supplier must demonstrate flexibility to accommodate varying collection frequencies (20, 40, or 52 weeks annually) and potential ad-hoc collections based on operational needs. All services must comply with UK waste legislation, adhere to the waste hierarchy prioritizing prevention and recycling, and prevent harm to human health and the environment. The Council values long-term partnership with a reliable contractor who can deliver consistent service quality, support sustainability objectives, and maximize recycling performance. Additional services such as WEEE (electronic waste) collection may be required. This is an opportunity for an experienced waste management provider to secure a stable, multi-year contract with a major public sector client committed to environmental responsibility and operational efficiency.
