Horowhenua District Council (Council/HDC) now seeks Proposals for waste disposal services. Such services include disposal of its domestic waste, general waste, and dewatered sludge from the wastewater and water supply treatment plants and includes the provision of a weighbridge service and a transfer station to enable public drop off of general waste, greenwaste and recyclables in or within 5km of Levin. HDC now seeks proposals in respect of each of the following scenarios:

1. Scenario 1: Operation of Landfill followed by disposal of Council Controlled Waste to other landfill or facility:
1A: Operation of the Levin Landfill from the Services Commencement Date until its closure no later than 31 December 2025 followed by disposal of Council Controlled Waste at another landfill or waste disposal facility until 30 May 2042.

1B: Operation of the Levin Landfill from the Services Commencement Date until its closure no later than 24 May 2037 “Consent Expiry Date” or earlier if consented capacity is reached followed by disposal of Council Controlled Waste at another landfill or waste disposal facility until 30 May 2042.

1C: Operation of the Levin Landfill from the Services Commencement Date until an alternative closure date between 31 December 2025 and 24 May 2037 “Nominated Alternative Closure Date” followed by disposal of Council Controlled Waste at another landfill or waste disposal facility until 30 May 2042.

2. Scenario 2: Disposal of Council Controlled Waste to other landfill or facility:
Disposal of Council Controlled Waste at another landfill or waste disposal facility nominated by the respondent from the Services Commencement Date until 30 May 2042 with no operation at Levin Landfill.
Scenarios 1A, 1B, 1C and 2 represent a range of options and additional proposals on alterative scenarios within this range are invited.
