This aligns the Council to the New Zealand Waste Strategy which has two goals: • Reduce the harmful effect of waste. • Improving the efficiency of resource use. For the period 2015 to 2021 the Council’s targets in relation to the above are: • Have the CIF operational and achieving a 60% diversion rate by 2017. • Increase the amount of recycling collected from Renwick, Grovetown, Spring Creek, Tua Marina, Rapaura, and Rarangi by up to 400 tonnes per year. • Reduce the amount of food waste sent to landfill each year via kerbside collections by 20% (200 tonnes) by 2017. • Increase the amount of greenwaste processed through the Wither Road site each year by 10% (800 tonnes) by 2018. 4. Action plan Action plans should describe the specific actions to be undertaken for each key area/waste stream, or for the objectives identified in your WMMP strategy in Part A. 4.1 Action planning tables The following tables outline the action plans for the options raised in the November 2014 waste assessment. They also link to the Council’s objectives (Part A sec 2.2) which are restated below: • Establish a Commercial Industrial Sorting Facility (CIF) by 1 July 2016. • Investigate options for food waste reduction. • Investigate options for co-mingled recycling (wheelie bins). • Investigate options for expanding direct access to recycling services including PPRS. • Investigate options for expanding the processing of greenwaste into compost. 4.1.1 Landfill action planning table The CIF and landfill have an impact on each other as both are potentially competing for the same waste. To ensure the CIF is more economically attractive for the right type of waste it will have a lower gate fee than the landfill. A cost model (spreadsheet) will be used to track this impact and establish future gate fees for both facilities.
