Council also provides, via contract no 2013/13, coin operated, enclosed containers for the Marlborough Sounds. These are used for the collection of waste only. They are located at Ohingaroa Quarry, the Grove, Rai Valley TS and Portage. The coin skips are able to cope with the current and future levels of waste, although monitoring of any residential expansion in this area will continue. The Blenheim transfer station is under consideration as the site for the proposed Commercial and Industrial Sorting Facility (CIF). If approved this facility would be operational by 1 July 2016 and would provide the region with an option to divert suitable materials from the commercial and industrial waste streams. 4.2.3 Resource Recovery Centre Council operates a Resource Recovery Centre (RRC) under contract no 2013/13.
