TW Services

The East Kent Joint Waste Project involves Canterbury, Dover, Shepway and Thanet District Councils working on a ground breaking partnership with Kent County Council, introducing common collection arrangements for waste and recycling in all four districts over the next four years.

The aim is to provide improved services at a lower cost, but delivering increased recycling rates. The project predicts savings of up to £1.5 million across the four districts and the county council each year from 2013, with the recycling rate in East Kent predicted to reach or exceed an average of 48%.

TW Services are delighted to announce their involvement with this ground breaking project in the capacity of supplying disposal facilities to the councils main contractor through both their existing infrastructure and future infrastructure plans.

Involvement today sees the provision of bulk handling facilities for waste delivered by the council vehicles and onward delivery of waste materials in TW Services own bulk vehicles to their final disposal destinations.

Future plans for TW Services involvement in the East Kent Waste project see a recently secured planning application coming to life. This is for the provision of an anaerobic digestion system to process the food and green waste collected by the councils nominated contractor.

Spencer Ray, Managing Director at T W Services comments: “As a company, T W Services are dedicated to the preservation of the environment through recycling and reducing the amount of waste that Kent sends to landfill. Our geographical location and outlook on the future of recycling made the East Kent Waste Project an obvious target for us to become involved with.
