Procedure for Dealing with Contaminated Materials
It is accepted that all suppliers delivering to Novelis agree to our terms of supply.
- If your delivery does not meet our specification, you will be given the opportunity to collect the material, or to have the delivery decontaminated at your cost.
If you agree to decontamination, the material may have to be transported to a designated reprocessing centre, where contaminants will be removed to meet our specification.
When the decision is taken to reprocess your load you, or your driver, may be asked to sign to say you accept that your load, or part of your load, is to be reprocessed. - On arrival at the reprocessing centre, a weighbridge ticket will be issued for the full weight of your delivery.
This will not be the weight you are paid for. The weight of contaminants removed during the clean up process will be deducted from the delivered weight. Novelis Recycling will only pay on the out turn of aluminium cans. - Due to the amount of work involved in arranging decontamination, Novelis Recycling will make a charge of at least £10 / tonne to cover administration.
This charge, along with reprocessing costs, transport, and handling fees will be deducted from your payment. - A self-billing invoice will be raised in the usual way.
This will include the weight after removal of contamination and the reduced price per tonne that you will receive.
Novelis Recycling is unable to inform suppliers of the price per tonne before decontamination has been carried out, nor are we able to guarantee a time period for decontamination or subsequent payment. This will vary depending on the amount of work required to meet our specification.
