Kelso Green Waste Segregation Services
Tender Overview
About this tender
Overview City of Canterbury Bankstown is seeking qualified and experienced contractors to manage and undertake the manual segregation of green waste at the Kelso Waste Management Centre (KWMC) using onsite available machinery. About Council operates the Kelso Waste Management Centre (KWMC), which includes a landfill, a recycling yard for storage, and a green waste receival and segregation area. Incoming green waste across the LGA is tipped and manually segregated prior to offsite transportation to a licensed composting facility. The facility operates under two licences, EPL 4606 Landfill and EPL 12752 Recycling Yard. The green waste hardstand is constructed from crushed bituminous material and is used for decontaminating Council's domestic green waste collection. Green waste as collected is not suitable for composting due to high levels of contamination with mixed household garbage. Green waste is tipped at the site, and any mixed waste is removed manually prior to the segregated green waste being loaded into semitrailers for carting to a composting facility, SoilCo. The hardstand is heavily trafficked, with up to 8 domestic collection vehicles and 3 semitrailers being serviced each day. A bobcat is used to move the green waste around on the platform, and a front-end loader is used to load the semitrailers. The hardstand is bordered on the south and north by access roads servicing other parts of the site. Scope The scope includes: Provision of labour and day-to-day operational management of green waste segregation activities at the Kelso Waste Management Centre Manual segregation of incoming green waste, including removal of mixed waste prior to loading segregated green waste into semitrailers for transport to a composting facility Ensuring that all incoming green waste is appropriately segregated prior to transport to an approved offsite composting facility Tender Briefing A non-compulsory briefing will be held for this opportunity.
