Description

A Framework Agreement to cover the provision of recycling and disposal facilities for various waste streams arising from the Council’s highway maintenance activities in Dorset (this includes highway maintenance wastes generated by Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council). For the sake of clarity, this Framework is solely concerned with gate fees, it is not about transporting waste from one place to another. Transportation is the subject of a separate Framework (which is running along similar time scales to this Framework).
