Borough Of Poole Extends Contract To 2027

Viridor is pleased to announce that it has extended its contract with the Borough of Poole for the receipt and processing of residual and recyclable waste through to 2027. Viridor has supported the Borough since 2004. The extended arrangements provide the Borough with continuing recovery and recycling solutions, overall budget savings and longer term continuity of budget security.

As part of this extended contract Viridor will be utilising its Material Recovery Facility at Crayford and working with partners at Lakeside Energy Recovery Facility and New Earth Solutions' operational Canford Mechanical and Biological Treatment facility located within Poole to recycle and recover renewable energy from the Borough's residual waste.

Colin Richardson, Viridor’s Regional Manager said “We are delighted that the Borough of Poole has extended our contract, which is testimony to the service that we have delivered for the past 10-years.”

Richard Brooke, Commercial Director, New Earth Solutions said “We look forward to working closely with Viridor and their client at the Borough of Poole to make our part in this project a success”.

Xena Dion, Cabinet Portfolio Holder for the Environment, Borough of Poole said “'Viridor have been really responsive to our drive to increase our recycling rates and understand how important it is for local residents to see 'waste'/materials processed locally and to make use of them rather than sending them to landfill.
