    20/00012 - Temporary arrangements for Transfer Station Services for Folkestone & Hythe municipal waste

    Background

     

    Kent County Council is the Statutory Waste Disposal Authority for the County managing the disposal of Waste Collection Authority’s kerbside collected waste, delivered to Transfer Station facilities throughout Kent.

     

    Due to the completion of the East Kent Waste Partnership, this transfers the title of recyclable waste to KCC in January 2021. KCC needs to plan for the receipt, bulking and haulage services for kerbside waste collected within Folkestone & Hythe District Council as the limited existing facility is no longer available within the District.

     

    The waste categories and tonnages involved, require extensive permitting arrangements at sensitively located facilities in the east of the County to mitigate the need for Waste Collection vehicles to exceed administrative areas.

     

    The Contract will be for temporary services whilst KCC considers a bid for capital funding for a Transfer Station to be constructed within the District. The Transfer Station services will facilitate segregation and management of the waste to avoid the use of landfill as a disposal option and maximise recycling levels.
