"The Stop Veolia campaign raised the issue of ethical tendering concerning Veolia's contracts for the Jerusalem Light Railway and bus services connecting illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank, and a controversial landfill project - all against international law." Harrow Council's cabinet committee is likely to award a place in the four year framework, beginning on September 1, to three companies, Biffa Waste Services, Bywaters (Leyton) and Viridor Waste Management, meaning the trio will be able to compete for successive 12-month contracts to handle the council's blue bin waste. Companies who transport these contents away from the civic amenity site and sell it to various processing facilities for recycling have to share any proceeds above a certain threshold with Harrow Council, a lucrative agreement through which the authority earns about £900,000 back for the taxpayer.
