Ubico releases annual report for 2022/23
Ubico releases annual report for 2022/23
2022/23 was another very successful year for Ubico; we continued to embed delivery of services for Gloucester City Council and in April 2023, we celebrated a year of service. In December 2022, Forest of Dean District Council decided to extend the range of services delivered for them by Ubico and from August 2024 we will be delivering waste, recycling and street cleansing services for the council.
Our successes were recognised at local and national level as we were shortlisted as finalists for three awards throughout the year - the National Recycling Awards, Gloucestershire Live Business Awards and the APSE (Association for Public Service Excellence) Annual Service Awards. We were also delighted that several parks which Ubico helps to maintain were presented with the prestigious Green Flag Award in 2022. These parks and open spaces play a vital role in providing the community with a safe and green space as well as drawing visitors to the area.
We continued to reduce the carbon impact from our fleet activities through improved driving performance, best use of available technology, and using cleaner, greener vehicles in our service delivery and in 2022/23, our fleet team continued to support the purchase of several electric vehicles for our fleet. We also trialled an all-electric refuse collection vehicle (RCV) around Gloucester which enabled Ubico to acquire invaluable data to use in our carbon reduction strategy and help inform future decision making on the procurement of electric RCV’s.
Highlights from 2022/23 include:
- 43,338,471 household waste and recycling collections made
- A collection accuracy of 99.93%
- 90,207 tonnes of refuse collected
- 20,687 tonnes of food waste collected
- 37,069 tonnes of garden waste collected
- 52,252 tonnes of dry recycling collected
- 1,179 street cleansing requests responded to
