Treatment of Cans (Mixed, Aluminium or Steel)

Throughout Scotland
This Lot is seeking suitably qualified service providers capable of delivering a service for the treatment of cans that may be presented mixed and/or separated by type, aluminium or steel. Mixed cans are liable to arise from either segregated kerbside collections, bring sites or Household Waste Recycling. The assumption on delivery to the Service Provider is that these will arrive in loose form, but individual Councils may advise otherwise at Invitation to Tender stage. Some variability in the proportions of steel and aluminium cans in the delivered material is to be expected. Aluminium cans are likely to come predominately form segregated kerbside collection schemes and Household Waste Recycling Centres and will may include beverage and/or food containers and aerosols. While unlikely to be explicitly included in widespread recycling collection advice to residents, it is expected that clean aluminium foil, such as foil trays, pie cases and household wrapping foil will be materials that may arrive with the cans and which the Service Provider shall seek to recycle. Steel cans will come predominately from segregated kerbside collections and Household Waste Recycling Centres and are likely to be compliant with BMRA UK Scrap Specification Steel grades 6E (baled, clean steel cans) and 6F (loose steel cans). Generally, cans are likely to be clean, dry and empty (particularly domestic aerosol containers). Material may be sorted or unsorted. While not explicitly included in widespread recycling collection advice to residents, it is expected that other small items of steel material will appear under this Lot and which Service Providers shall seek to recycle. Collection of bulked material may be required as may alignment to other types of collection service. Individual councils will detail their own material content and mix if appropriate, operational specification and service requirements.
