Joint procurement of Waste and Recycling Collection and Street Cleansing for Malvern Hills District Council and Wychavon District Council

Malvern Hills District Council and Wychavon District Council are looking to jointly run a combined waste collection, recycling and street cleansing service with provision for growth in terms of number of households but also increasing business in terms of recycling, green waste, bulky waste and trade waste.
