Sita UK are poised as leaders of a consortium, to take over the running of waste disposal for six west London councils, in a scheme valued at £900 million.

The consortium, including Lloyds Banking Group and the Itochu Corporation, along with Sita UK and its partners, has been selected as preferred bidders by the six councils (West London Waste Authority).

The new contract will see 300,000 tonnes of waste, from around 600,000 homes, transferred from a landfill disposal scheme to a new process in which waste would be transported to an electricity plant to be burnt.

The consortium must now be given final approval in order to secure the contract, which would see £900 million paid over the 25 year lifetime of the service delivery.

Chairman of West London Waste Authority, Bassam Mahfouz, said: “For too long we in west London have been sending the waste we didn’t recycle to pile up in landfills. This new contract means that virtually nothing will be sent to landfill.”
