What the notice says

Lancashire County Council (the Authority) will be seeking tenders for the provision of hard plastics acceptance and recycling services. In summary, the services will comprise the acceptance, weighing and recycling of hard plastics material that has been deposited at the Authority's Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs). It is expected that the Authority will deliver the hard plastic material to a providers facility for recycling using the Authority's own transport solution. However, this preliminary market engagement will also ask for provider feedback regarding potential collection solutions.
