Is Key decision?: No

Decision:

To enter into contracts for the collection and processing of textiles which have been collected by the NWLDC collection team and at static 'bring' sites located throughout the district from containers provided by the contractor.

Reasons for the decision:

To enter into contracts with a better performing contractor as there were issues with the previous provider. A clear schedule of requirements is included in the contract setting out clearly the expectations and performance criteria for the contractor to adhere to and comply with.

Alternative options considered:

Not to provide textile collections was considered and to remove all bring site banks. However, both the textile collection and bring facility are well used by residents.
