The two top recyclers in England according to local authority collected waste statistics by Defra have extended their recycling contracts with Biffa until 2024.
Vale of White Horse and South Oxfordshire district councils signed the deal for domestic waste collection this week.
In the past six months residents reached an average recycling rate of 63.6 percent in South, and 63.1 percent in Vale, adding to an average 1,400 tonnes of dry recycling a month in South and 1,300 in Vale, according to council figures.
Pete Dickson, Biffa – “The challenge ahead is to expand recycling even further while controlling costs, and we look forward to fulfilling these councils’ faith in Biffa”
Biffa business manager Simon Chown said the company will be looking to introduce new waste collection vehicles and make more improvements to the service, which include a kerbside collection of small electrical goods and clothes.
“We’re really pleased with the ongoing success we’ve had with the councils,” he said.
Biffa municipal development director Pete Dickson said: “The challenge ahead is to expand recycling even further while controlling costs, and we look forward to fulfilling these councils’ faith in Biffa.”
South Oxfordshire cabinet member for recycling David Dodds said: “I’m delighted that we are continuing our contract with Biffa.”
