Kerbside recycling
$400,000 per annum
Kerbside
recycling will provide a weekly urban and peri-urban kerbside collection
service for traditional recyclable products like plastic bottles,
glass bottles, cardboard, paper, aluminium and steel cans.
It's likely that this would replace the current 'drop-off'
service in Peat Street. Benefits of a kerbside service are that
more people will use it than the 'drop-off' centre and therefore
the amount of products recycled will increase.
The 'drop-off' centre recycles 1000 tonnes of product
at a cost of $150,000 per annum. The kerbside service would recycle
around 2000 tonnes at an annual cost of $400,000.
