On Monday 16 May, the BBC Panorama programme ‘Track my Trash’ revealed that three non-working television sets left at Civic Amenity sites in Croydon and Merton had been, or were in the process of being, exported to Africa in contravention of the Waste Electrical and Electronic (WEEE) Resources Regulations 2006.
The contract to manage these Civic Amenity sites and handle the waste brought to them is held by Environmental Waste Controls. The contract was awarded and is managed by the South London Waste Partnership.
The South London Waste Partnership provided Panorama with a statement, which the programme producers unfortunately chose not to feature in the broadcast.

The Partnership remains well placed to procure a value-for-money solution to the challenge of diverting 200,000 tonnes of waste away from landfill.
On 21 October, Defra announced that PFI credits were being revoked from seven waste infrastructure projects, including the South London Waste Partnership. It goes without saying that the Partnership was disappointed by this decision; but PFI funding was an option for the Partnership and not something it was entirely reliant on.

Three waste treatment companies have made it through to the next stage of the South London Waste Partnership’s procurement process.
WRG, Veolia and Viridor have been invited to further ‘refine’ their proposals of how they would treat up to 200,000 tonnes of residual household waste every year that would otherwise be destined for landfill. Strict procurement rules mean that the details of each bid must remain confidential while the ‘competitive dialogue’ procurement process is ongoing.
