The Riverside ERC was built primarily to service a 25 year [[PPP]] contract signed in 2013 with [[West London Waste Disposal Authority| WLWA]] <ref>[https://www.letsrecycle.com/news/latest-news/suez-milestone-severnside-erf/ Letsrecycle Article]</ref>, with anticipated input of around 300,000 tonnes per annum i.e the majority of the tonnage. Additional tonnage has also been secured from the [[West of England Partnership]] and [[Devon County Council]].The [[Residual Waste]] from [[West London Waste Disposal Authority| WLWA]] is loaded at two rail-linked transfer stations in Brentford and South Ruislip prior to its transport to Severnside ERC | The Riverside ERC was built primarily to service a 25 year [[PPP]] contract signed in 2013 with [[West London Waste Disposal Authority| WLWA]] <ref>[https://www.letsrecycle.com/news/latest-news/suez-milestone-severnside-erf/ Letsrecycle Article]</ref>, with anticipated input of around 300,000 tonnes per annum i.e the majority of the tonnage.
