The Waste contract appointed Bulky Waste Collection Wadebridge to collect and dispose of all household waste and recycling waste in Cornwall. In accordance with the allocation created by Government, this is collected along with residual waste from some commercial users — agricultural establishments, brewers, whisky distillers, cemeteries. This feedstock provides the material for two energyfromwaste facilities at Coypool in east Cornwall and St Dennis in west Cornwall. They now employ over 50 people and have the capacity to deal with approximately 400,000 tonnes of waste per year.

It is a 15 year contract to process all residual waste collected from Wadebridge and Par. This includes: Domestic waste including furniture, large items; Commercial waste including bulky items such as fridges, freezers; Commercial waste through the commercial waste service; Bulk quantities of inert material (CCL, rubble etc. ). Bulky waste collection services have been running in Wadebridge for a number of years now. The bulky waste collections were formerly run by Cornwall Bulky Waste Collection Wadebridge, but in October 2006, they were taken over by Bulky Waste Collection Wadebridge (now Bulky Waste Collection Wadebridge ), who are legally required to collect the bulky waste items that are put out by their customers.

Bulky Waste Collection Wadebridge is the waste management company for Cornwall. We manage around 20,000 tonnes of waste per year, and that's just one part of our work in the county. We're here 24 hours a day, every day of the year, collecting and recycling around 4,000 tonnes of refuse, recycling more than 20,000 tonnes of materials from industrial and commercial sources, processing and converting 12,500 tonnes of tyres into fuel to generate enough electricity to power thousands of homes.
