Ward lands multimillion-pound council contract

Derbyshire based metal and waste recycling specialist, Ward, has been awarded a two-year waste container contract with Derbyshire County Council, with an option to extend for a further two years.

Following a competitive tender process, the multimillion-pound contract to supply, deliver and manage approximately 1,300 skips and 100 roll on roll off containers annually, was awarded to Ward to service the areas of Chesterfield and north and south Derbyshire.

Tracy Bryan, senior commercial manager at Ward, said: “This is a great achievement by the team. We are very much looking forward to working with Derbyshire County Council to provide a comprehensive skip, container and waste management service. Our aim is always to reduce waste to landfill and by handling approximately 25 containers per week for the Council, we can help them achieve their recycling goals and reduce carbon emissions, by managing multiple waste streams locally.”

Ward will deliver the contract from its material processing sites at Chesterfield, Ilkeston and Swadlincote.
