Veolia, the UK resource management company, has won a new nine and three-quarter-year contract with Hammersmith & Fulham Council, which it says will help contribute towards improving recycling rates and supporting the councils’ ambitions to reach net zero by 2030.
The new contract includes kerbside recycling and waste collections, bulky waste and street cleansing and will expand the current food waste recycling scheme to cover the whole of Hammersmith & Fulham.
The borough is home to several high-profile events for which Veolia will deliver street cleansing services including the Boat Race and Queen’s Club tennis, as well as around the three football stadiums in the borough on match days.
Veolia says as part of the contract a recycling improvement plan will be devised in collaboration with the Council and supported by a new Education, Communication and Outreach team to engage with residents and community groups to introduce new initiatives to increase recycling.
We are delighted to announce that we are the environmental partner of choice for Hammersmith & Fulham Council.
As part of the partnership, Veolia says it will also work with Hammersmith & Fulham to develop electric vehicle and charging infrastructure to support Hammersmith & Fulham Council’s climate emergency target to achieve net zero by 2030.
Commenting on the new contract, Gavin Graveson, Veolia Senior Executive Vice President of Northern Europe Zone, said: “We are delighted to announce that we are the environmental partner of choice for Hammersmith & Fulham Council.
“The contract will significantly boost recycling rates across the borough, conserving resources in line with our purpose of ecological transformation.
“We are committed to launching social value initiatives within the community, such as introducing the Sustainability Fund to support local biodiversity and recycling projects, provide recruitment opportunities for long-term unemployed residents and increase the number of apprentices.”
