Description
Kent County Council (KCC), as the Waste Disposal Authority, currently manages the receipt and processing of approximately 25,000 tonnes per annum of Wood Waste deposited at Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs).

鈥olicies, procedures and operational practices that manage materials in accordance with the waste hierarchy to maximise reuse and recycling and minimise disposal with the expectation that no wood waste will be sent to landfill. This should include segregation of wood into appropriate grades, and the use of recycling processes for higher grade or blended material and suitable recovery or biomass solutions for lower grade material; and
鈥obust business continuity and contingency arrangements to ensure continuity of service in the event of plant failure, or facility unavailability, or other operational disruption.
