2. IN THE BEGINNING�� In some cases departments were using the same contractor but paying different rates. Not centralised in any way, although Facilities did deal with the general waste. Facilities was working with a number of different contractors. In some cases departments were using the same contractor but paying different rates.

3. A NEW APPROACH Was also a few months into my post and one of the first objectives I set was To improve waste and recycling To consolidate service so that it is run by a main contractor Seemed that accurate measures had to be the way forward with the rising costs of landfill etc.Was also a few months into my post and one of the first objectives I set was To improve waste and recycling To consolidate service so that it is run by a main contractor Seemed that accurate measures had to be the way forward with the rising costs of landfill etc.

4. BENEFITS OF PAY-BY-WEIGHT Primary advantage is that you are no longer paying to have bins emptied when they have nothing in them but fresh air! Data is correlated from invoices which now provide a breakdown of costs into rent of containers, cost of collection � based on weight, cost of transport to disposal sites, and costs of landfill. The combination of this type of contract and good recycling means we have an average annual save of 10% of the waste budget. Have to consider that it is not always the best solution to reduce bins and lifts and this must be done in a considered way. Always worth looking at bin content as just because it is showing low tonnage does not always mean it is not full. Also do not want ground dumping to occur.

5. MANAGEMENT FIGURES 99 - 06 A snap shot of the tutorial wheelie bin cost and the main skip costs. Savings have dipped this last year, mainly due to a new campus coming on board and the start of a new recycling project for plastic. What is apparent is that even with the rising cost of waste management we are spending virtually no more than in previous years if not less. This is due to tighter management using the pay by weight system. A snap shot of the tutorial wheelie bin cost and the main skip costs.
