AWM, which is owned by Beauparc, will hold the contract for the next three years from 3July 2023 to 2 July 2026. The company runs four sites across Leeds and Bradford.
The contract for Bradford council’s dry mixed recycling was previously held by HW Martin LTD from 2018-2023 and the company processed up to 42,000 tonnes of co-mingled dry mixed recycling per year.
Consistency
A spokesperson from Bradford council said: “HW Martin Ltd provided an excellent all-round service during this time which included a long period of market volatility, as well as high levels of kerbside contamination.
“We had been waiting for the deferred announcement on consistent collections from Defra but decided meanwhile to procure a new contract for up to five years which covers the current comingled collection method and leaves scope for future changes.”
The council added: “Associated Waste Management Ltd are industry experts who also hold the current long-term Energy from Waste (EfW) contract for Bradford Council’s general waste. This contract helps to ensure that waste to landfill is minimised, and the various commodities and waste are recycled or used in EfW projects wherever possible.”
AWM is a waste management company that now encompasses the production of SRF (Solid Recovered Fuel) and RDF (Refuse Derived Fuel) materials. The business employs 248 full and part time staff across 10 material reclamation facilities, collectively licensed to process 500,000 tonnes of waste per annum. AWM also acts as a nationwide broker.
