North Lanarkshire Council is the lead authority of a consortium of five local authorities that aim to deliver an improved recycling and residual waste treatment. The project was the first of its kind in Scotland and the contract has been running for 22 months and is on the way to delivering over 90% diversion from landfill, with recyclate being extracted from the waste.

“The delivery of the Clyde Valley Residual Waste Contract has allowed a number of local authorities to combine resources to deliver a long term, low carbon solution, however, we should also emphasise that this is not the end and we will continue to work within the partnership to determine how we can further reduce the carbon impact due to waste disposal and meet the net-zero ambitions both at a local and national level.” - Andrew McPherson, Head of Regulatory Services and Waste Solutions at North Lanarkshire Council
