Residents will continue to use the same bins and will still be able to recycle the same comprehensive range of materials. Councillor Bill Chapple, council cabinet member for environment and climate change, said: "The contract brings together excellent services for residents with innovative new approaches which will help to make our waste and recycling services even more environmentally friendly. Gavin Graveson, executive vice-president of Veolia UK and Ireland, said: "This decision reflects our ability to manage complex public realm contracts and we look forward to working with local residents to deliver a first-class service that will contribute to a more sustainable future for everyone."
