The South Ribble Borough Council (UK)
highlights FCC Environment’s great work during
its first year of handling waste management
The waste collection
and treatment contract in
South Ribble
(Lancashire County),
northeast of Manchester,
celebrates its first
anniversary. The
high-quality services
implemented by
FCC Environment are
helping residents save
thousands of pounds
annually.
FCC Environment and the South Ribble
Borough Council launched the urban waste
collection and treatment contract in June
2015. Pursuant to the contract, the Group’s
subsidiary in the United Kingdom provides
services to a total population of 110,000
people. Coinciding with the first anniversary
of FCC’s work in the town, the Council con-
gratulated the Company for its goo work.
Over the last 12 months, FCC Environment
has collected nearly five million wheelie bins
as contemplated in the contract that is an-
ticipated to save 4.2 million pounds over
the course of seven years, a grand total of
600,000 pounds per year. This was stres-
sed by Councillor Peter Mullineaux, cabinet
member with responsibility for Neighbour-
hoods and Street Scene: “There’s always
a concern when you change contractor on
this scale that there could be teething pro-
blems, but I’m extremely pleased to say our
residents are enjoying the same first class
service – in fact I bet many haven’t even no-
ticed! That’s impressive when the changes
result in us saving hundreds of thousands
of pounds each year. FCC really has imple-
mented the new contract in a professional
and seamless way”.
Stuart Mander, Regional Director at FCC
thanked the Councillor FCC for his words
and said, during the celebration of the
first year of the contract that “we are de-
lighted to see such positive feedback from
South Ribble Borough Council and we look
forward to working together in the future to
deliver an effective and efficient service”.
