Hills Waste Solutions, a division of the Wiltshire based Hills
Group Limited, has successfully bid against two national
competitors to be awarded a new waste management contract
with Aspire Defence Services Limited.
The contract will run for an initial 3 year period with an
option to extend for two years. Hills will provide waste
collection and recycling services to four MoD garrisons situated
across Salisbury Plain and Aldershot, which currently generate
approximately 8,000 tonnes of waste annually.
The service is being provided as part of Project
Allenby/Connaught, the largest estates PFI ever let by the
Ministry of Defence, valued at some £8 billion which will run
for 35 years, and is being delivered by Aspire Defence, a joint
venture between Carillion and KBR.

be recorded from which Hills and Aspire will agree targets to
reduce waste sent to landfill and increase recycling rates – a
practice which supports the sustainability initiatives at the
heart of Aspire’s contract with the MoD and sets out to reduce
soldiers’ environmental impact.
Extensive planning has been undertaken to ensure symmetry
of the service across all the garrisons to maximise the
opportunities for soldiers and their families to recycle. Caroline
Sloman, Bids Co-ordinator for Hills, who project managed the
contract mobilisation, explains, “The facilities for waste
collection are the same at each garrison - whether at home, in
communal areas or in the workplace. This gives a clear,
consistent message which, from past experience, we know will
increase and encourage recycling.”
Hills and Aspire Defence are already working successfully
together in an existing partnership, now in its third year, which
provides a waste management service specifically for
construction waste generated on the Project Allenby/Connaught
