Stoke's recycling success lands it with big EfW claim

摘要

A decision by Stoke-on-Trent City Council to enhance its recycling collection service has left the authority facing a claim of around 645,000 pounds from its energy from waste (EfW) contractor for not providing enough waste to feed the facility. MRW has learnt that the council is facing legal action from Hanford Waste Services (HWS), which operates the city's EfW facility. It is understood that HWS is claiming the council has failed to supply enough residual waste to be burnt at the EfW, according to the terms of the 25 year contract.
