REL managing director Paul Taylor tries to secure a heads-of-agreement between Timaru District Council and baling contractor ERP Group to store 50,000 – 70,000 tonnes of waste at Redruth landfill for the proposed W-t-E incinerator in Waimate.
The agreement states, “Renew Energy will be independently responsible for supplying 350,000 tonnes of waste per annum to the plant.”
This agreement shows how Renew Energy will be responsible for supplying the waste and their intention to continue to partner with ERP Group, despite the company’s poor waste management practices, which ultimately resulted in ERP Group owner Michael Corcoran, moving to Australia and leaving his landlords with thousands of tonnes of baled waste, destined for the proposed ‘Project Kea’ incinerator in Waimate.
The cleanup of the illegally stored waste Corcoran left behind was reported to cost several million dollars.
