The company will now be responsible for the collection and processing of mixed wood across the town under a contract worth £318,500.
South Wales Wood Recycling beat one other unnamed tender to win the contract, which was let by Cheltenham borough council for five years with the possibility of a two year extension.
The volume of waste wood collected from Cheltenham’s CA site in 2016/17 was 1,300 tonnes.
Extension
The contract will run until October 2022, unless a two year extension is agreed on the review date in April 2022.
Scott Williams, contracts manager of the joint waste team with Cheltenham Borough Council , said: “They are very familiar with the quality of wood that comes through and were able to offer a really good price and assurances on the quality.
“We previously had a two year arrangement, and are delighted to extend this to five with an option for a further two.”
