OREANDA-NEWS. August 02, 2013. SITA UK, a subsidiary of SUEZ ENVIRONNEMENT, has been awarded a seven year contract by Northamptonshire County Council worth up to EUR62 million to manage up to 79,000 tonnes of residual household waste each year.

During the first two years of the new contract, waste will continue to be sent to SITA UK’s landfill in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire.

However, from 2015 Northamptonshire’s waste will be put to good use at SITA UK’s new solid fuel recovery facility in Rugby, which will be commissioned in 2014.

SITA UK will supply the fuel produced to CEMEX to use at its Rugby cement kilns as part of its 25 year partnership to supply the company with alternative fuel.

SITA UK’s solid recovered fuel facility in Rugby will have the capacity to process over 200,000
tonnes of waste a year.

SITA UK will also be able to capture third party waste which will allow the company to organically grow its collection and treatment business in the region.
