The contract is for an initial two-year period, with an option to extend for a further two.

Tracy Bryan, senior commercial manager at Ward, said: “This is a great achievement by the team.

“We are very much looking forward to working with Derbyshire County Council to provide a comprehensive skip, container and waste management service.

“Our aim is always to reduce waste to landfill and by handling approximately 25 containers per week for the council, we can help them achieve their recycling goals and reduce carbon emissions, by managing multiple waste streams locally.”
