Contract Variation Order Food Waste Collection: Biffa
Under the Environment Act 2021 (Commencement
No. 9 and Transitional Provisions) Regulations 2024, published by
the Government on 16th May 2024, it local waste collection
authorities are now required to put in place weekly separate food
waste collections for schools and Council owned offices from April
2025 and from all Wirral residents from April 2026.
The Biffa Contract ends in August 2027. Since the mandatory start
date for food waste collections begins during our current contract
with Biffa, therefore a variation of the current contract is
required to change the current fortnightly collections of household
waste that includes waste in one container to a weekly collection
of food waste that is to be placed in a caddy that is dedicated to
food waste only.
