4.3.2 Kerbside recycling collections Council will review the kerbside collection methodology during the term of this WMMP. Any changes would have to demonstrate an economically sustainable increase in the volume of material being collected and recycled at the Resource Recovery Centre. This review will include, but not be limited to, the following: • l of a second crate. • Introduction of co-mingled recycling (wheelie bins). • Education awareness. • Community consultation. 4.3.3 Mixed industrial loads The proposed introduction of a commercial, industrial sorting facility (CIF) will provide an alternative to landfill for suitable waste loads. Initial assessments have identified up to 12,000 tonnes of material, currently going to landfill, which could be processed through this type of facility. After sorting, up to 8,000 tonnes (60%) of incoming material would be diverted. The private sector is unlikely to develop such a facility as no single operator has access to enough material to make it commercially viable. 4.3.4 Waste and diverted material reporting The Bluegums weighbridge software is providing accurate, easily accessible data for daily use and analysis within Council. This data captures waste inputs from the kerbside refuse collection, the transfer stations and the commercial/ industrial sector. The data for reporting on diverted materials is based on manual records transferred onto spreadsheets. Data on material diversion is also received on a quarterly basis from the private sector. This information is aggregated and reported at a regional level to protect individual operator’s commercial risk. 4.3.5 Population growth The population growth in the region is not expected to cause significant issues for the existing waste management and minimisation infrastructure and services. The challenge is to increase material diversion from existing waste streams, both industrial and domestic. 4.3.6 Peak and seasonal demand Marlborough is a key tourist destination for New Zealand and international visitors. Whilst the demand within the Marlborough Sounds can dramatically increase between December and March the existing infrastructure can cope with current waste volumes. These volumes may be affected by an increase in new sub-divisions or properties switching from holiday to permanent homes. This future demand will be monitored to ensure the suitability of the waste drop off service provided by the coin skips and transfer stations. Diverted materials within the Sounds are collected at the Picton, Rai Valley and Havelock transfer stations. A review of providing additional recycling services to this area will be undertaken during the term of this WMMP. This review will include, but not be limited to, the following; • Collection options.
