Share Add to Bookmarks Bournemouth Christchurch Poole Council has awarded a contract to process household, commercial and litter bin waste to local firm New Earth Solutions (Canford). The contract - of undisclosed value - covers 48,000 tonnes of waste from 110,000 properties in the Bournemouth and Christchurch areas, as most of Poole’s waste is already treated at New Earth Solutions’ facility under a separate contract with Viridor Waste Management. New Earth Solutions will extract metals and a compost from the waste and process the remainder into refuse derived fuel for an energy-from-waste facility at Bridgwater. Brian McCabe, chief executive of its owner Beauparc, said: “We are delighted to be able to continue our relationship with BCP, providing them with sustainable, carbon friendly and circular solutions for managing their waste.” The council said it recycled 51.3% of household waste with 87% of all waste was diverted from landfill. It inherited various waste contracts from the three former council that combined into  Bournemouth Christchurch Poole in 2019. New Earth Solutions’ contract will run for three years with an option to extend for a future three. The council said this meant all its major waste contracts could now end in 2027, giving the opportunity to create a long-term strategy then. 2021-08-31
