Tender Details

Request for proposals are invited for Recycling of Paper Banknote Wastes.

INTRODUCTION:
The destruction of unfit banknotes in Nigeria is carried out by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) under strict security and environmentally sustainable manner. Section 18(d) of the CBN Act 2007 authorised “The Bank to arrange for the destruction of currency notes and coins withdrawn from circulation under the provision of section 20(3) of the said Actor otherwise found by the Bank to be unfit for use.”

The banknotes disposal operation is presently carried out in twelve (12) disposal centres across the country weekly where about 100 tons of paper banknote wastes are generated.

Paper Banknote wastes disposal by open air burning impacts negatively on the environment thereby causing pollution and health hazards.
