Binn Group secures major waste management contract with NHS Tayside

Binn Group has announced it has secured a five-year waste management contract with NHS Tayside. Taking effect from 1 October, the annual contract covers the health board’s 47 sites across the region including Ninewells Hospital and Perth Royal Infirmary.

Under the agreement, Binn Group will manage NHS Tayside’s residual, electrical and green waste as well as glass and a broad range of recycled materials including dry mixed recycling, metals and bulky goods.

Following Binn Group’s recent multi-million pound investment in innovative waste sorting technology, this new contract is strongly focused on delivering cost efficiencies by driving down the volume of the health board’s residual waste. Binn Group will also work closely with NHS Tayside to help the organisation further reduce waste levels across its sites.

NHS Tayside provides health care services for the residents in the geographical local government areas of Angus, Dundee and Perth and Kinross, serving a population of around 420,000.

Established in 2001, Binn Group has grown to become one of Scotland’s leading independent providers of integrated recycling and waste management services. The company has also been at the forefront of adopting and promoting more sustainable practices across its waste management operations.

Brian Harkins, Managing Director of Binn Group, said: “We’re delighted to announce this new waste management contract with our local health care provider, NHS Tayside. This significant contract covers major hospitals and a number of local healthcare centres across Tayside.

“As a company committed to sustainable waste management practices, we will work closely with NHS Tayside to manage their current waste disposal requirements and, importantly, help them maximise recycling efficiency and reduce overall waste levels across their operations.”
