On 1 November 2011, May Gurney assumed responsibility for Bristol's waste collection, street cleansing and winter maintenance under a new seven year contract.
The waste collection, street cleansing and winter maintenance contract involves the collection of residual waste, organic (food and garden) waste and recycling from the city's 189,000 households, as well as street cleansing and associated functions such as graffiti and fly-tip removal, and winter gritting.
The contract saves around £2.5m of council tax payers' money each year, making it a much more cost effective service with potential to make even further savings due to waste reduction.
The contract will help the council reach its ambitious targets set out in its waste management strategy in September 2009, including significant reductions in the amount of waste per household, improving recycling and participation levels, treating and disposing of waste locally, and the ultimate goal of zero untreated waste to landfill.
May Gurney's focus is on working with Bristol City Council to develop better waste collection strategies in order to reduce the amount of recyclates that end up in landfill, and extract the maximum value from recycled materials.
