These targets are for the recycling and composting of municipal solid waste ("MSW") and for the diversion of remaining biodegradable municipal waste ("BMW"). Swindon Commercial Services Ltd is seeking to procure a fuel use solution which will manage the residual waste diversion targets Swindon Borough Council are required to meet, without impacting upon its existing recycling and composting achievements.
