Due to BaH stock being geographically dispersed having two sites, one within a 5 mile radius of the Riverside Office and another between 5 > 10 miles ensures that waste can be tipped promptly across different areas of BaH stock. Restricting to a single location or one out of Borough would result in unreasonably long travel times for some operatives, reducing efficiency. Other reasons include;

• Operation Efficiency and Cost effectiveness - minimises non-productive travel time, reduce fuel costs, and limit wear and tear on fleet vehicles.

• Service Responsiveness - nearby tipping facilities allow operatives to complete jobs faster and return to site the same day without excessive travel delays.

• Environmental Considerations - Shorter average travel distance between properties, the office and tipping sites reduce carbon emissions, supporting the associations sustainability commitments. Using two local sites spreads demand potentially reducing congestion at any one facility
