Responsible for managing the site until 2020
The operation and management of the recycling village in Middlefields, South Shields, on the east coast of Great Britain, was put out to tender as far back as the beginning of last year by the South Tyneside Council. After submitting its bid, REMONDIS JBT Ltd was awarded the contract to manage the site from December 2017 to March 2020. Four staff members at the site and two drivers will be responsible for the service and recycling at the site in the future.
Andrew Whittaker, Commercial Manager of the areal, stressed that “the recycling village is very important to the local community. Within the framework of the competitive procedure that was carried out, we selected REMONDIS JBT as the best bidder in terms of price and performance and I am really looking forward to working together with the company.“
“REMONDIS is very experienced in providing municipal services in many countries. We are very pleased that we are able to offer
this possibility to people in South Tyneside.”

A wide range of tasks
Together with a strong regional player, REMONDIS took over a recycling operator located in Bedlington, JBT Waste Services Ltd, in November of last year. Steve Patterson, CEO of REMONDIS JBT Ltd, commented on the move as follows: “REMONDIS is very experienced in the provision of municipal services in many countries. We are very pleased that we have this possibility to offer these services to the people of South Tyneside.“ REMONDIS JBT‘s task is to manage the site, assist the workers there and support the public in recycling efforts. Furthermore, REMONDIS will be rendering numerous logistical services involving transport of the sorted materials to recycling plants or using them at the right place.
Patterson adds: “The site has a state-of-the-art plant, which was awarded a design prize in 2007. It recycles a high percentage of inputs. We are determined to push forward to new heights while at the same time offering an excellent customer service.“
