About

Plymouth City Council awarded a contract to Dorton Group for the processing, treatment, and recycling of approximately 4,300 tonnes per annum of inert construction waste, including soil and rubble (EWC 20-02-02), a mixture of concrete and bricks (EWC 17-01-07), and approximately 370 tonnes per annum of ceramics (EWC 17-01-03).

The waste is sourced mainly from the Council’s Household Waste Recycling Centres, with some from commercial customers.

The service aims to maximise diversion from landfill, prioritising recycling in accordance with the waste hierarchy.

The Council delivers the waste to the processing site in 20 cubic yard roll-on/off containers, and the supplier assumes ownership and responsibility upon delivery.

The contract value is £145,000, with an anticipated duration of 3 years, procured under PCR 2015 via ITT.
