VIRIDOR SECURES RECYCLING COLLECTION & PROCESSING CONTRACT EXTENSION IN POOLE

UK waste and recycling firm Viridor, has secured a contract extension with the Borough of Poole for the receipt and processing of residual and recyclable waste through to 2027

The company - a part of the Pennon Group (LSE: PNN) - said that it has worked with the Borough since 2004 and that the extended arrangements provide the Borough with continuing recovery and recycling solutions, as well as overall budget savings and longer term continuity of budget security.

As part of this extended contract Viridor explained that it will be utilising its own Material Recycling Facility (MRF) at Crayford and working with partners at the Lakeside waste to energy Facility.

The company added that it will also work with New Earth Solutions' operational Canford Mechanical and Biological Treatment facility, located within Poole, to recycle and recover energy from the Borough's residual waste.

Xena Dion, cabinet portfolio holder for the environment at the Borough of Poole said: “Viridor have been really responsive to our drive to increase our recycling rates and understand how important it is for local residents to see 'waste'/materials processed locally and to make use of them rather than sending them to landfill.”
