Caerphilly County Borough Council is on a mission to stimulate the Circular Economy. The Authority developed a reuse facility that enables us to reduce waste and provide valuable commodities for resale at reasonable prices. The facility helps the Authority redistribute resources and help to improve its waste resource management performance. The Authority seeks to promote the sale of salvaged/reusable items across Caerphilly County Borough and wishes to promote reuse and repair efforts. The Authority will work with the Contractor to develop these opportunities where appropriate. The Authority seeks to secure a Contractor to operate the repair & reuse shop at the facility located next to the household waste and recycling centre (HRC) located on Penallta Industrial Estate, South Road. A summary of the Authority’s requirements is: • Operate repair & reuse shop that is open to the public and has an online (social media) sales element to the service; • Provide a high quality, efficient, cost effective, and sustainable service for the reception and resale of reusable items to the public; • To be able to deliver high reuse and recycling rates and provide local social benefits through the sale of reusable items; • To provide all necessary recruitment, training, Health and Safety requirements and back-office functions required to operate the facility; • To employ and provide voluntary positions within the reuse operations and shop to the local community; • Allow the public to drop off items suitable for reuse/upcycling within the opening times of the Reuse Shop; • To accurately record all items reused and passed onto buyers in order to report this to the Authority for the statutory waste data flow purposes; • Work with Local Authority HRC staff to provide information and training on how to identify items suitable for reuse, so maximising the benefit of the reception points; • Make links with local social enterprises, charities and relevant organisations that can support and be supported through the same reuse and repair ethos; • Ensure that all items are stored securely at the complex in order to optimise recovery/reuse levels.
