SUEZ Mobilisations and Contract Wins
The contract will include the transition to a full wheeled bin collection scheme with alternate weekly collections and will include innovations to help people access information about their services and keep track of their collection schedule – including a new Resident App, compatibility with Alexa and a dedicated website.
SUEZ has committed to decrease CO2 emissions by more than 4,000 tonnes for the area, moving Southend-on-Sea City Council even closer to achieving carbon neutral status by 2030. Drawing on the latest technology, a partially electric street cleansing fleet, use of recycled vegetable oil (HVO) for all plant machinery and route optimisation to lower vehicle mileage will all contribute to cutting emissions.
Improvements to Southend's two HWRCs will also help to boost the city's recycling rate – local people will be able to recycle a wider range of items at the two sites and the reuse shop at Stock Road will be revived and joined by a brand-new shop at Leigh Marshes.
100% of profits from both shops will go to a local charity partner, supporting the valuable services it provides to the local community as part of the social value offering from SUEZ recycling and recovery UK.
