INTRODUCTION

Frater Consulting Services have been engaged to undertake a Waste Management Plan for the proposed office development located at 91 Rokeby Street, Collingwood. We have reviewed the plans of the proposed development and have, where necessary, undertaken research in the relevant field of waste management.

SITE DESCRIPTION

The proposed site is located at 91 Rokeby Street, Collingwood. The 169m2 site is currently occupied by a commercial building which is proposed to be demolished prior to the construction of the proposed development. It is located approximately 2kms east of the CBD.

PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT

The proposal consists of development of the site into a seven storey office building with a ground floor reception. Two car spaces will be provided on site. The area of the site is approximately 169m2.

TYPES OF WASTE GENERATED

The following types of waste are most commonly generated within an office development:

• General landfill rubbish; • Recyclables such as glass, paper, cardboard, cartons, plastics with ID Codes 1 to 7, steel & aluminium cans; • Compostable organic material (food scraps); • Hard rubbish such as broken furniture and large objects; and • Sundry waste types such as electronic waste.

WASTE GENERATION RATES

Listed below are the waste generation estimates for the development in accordance with the Sustainability Victoria guidelines based on — Guidelines for preparing a waste management plan 2015:

For office space:

Space type Rubbish Generation Comingled Recyclables

Office 10 L per 100m2 per day 10 L per 100m2 per day

Based on the proposed total office NLA of 660.46m2 the total waste generated by the development is therefore:

BIN TYPES

Below are the types of bins that the private contractor will provide with the common dimensions:

Bin Storage Capacity Colour Waste Type Comments Type

Average dimensions are: Dark Green Height 1.1m, Width 0.68m, 360L Body with General Garbage Depth 0.848m matching lid Total floor area required: 0.57m`/bin

Average dimensions are: Dark Green Height 1.1m, Width 0.68m, Commingled 360L Body with Depth 0.848m recyclables yellow lid Total floor area required: 0.57m2/bin

The private waste contractor once engaged will provide the bins for the development.

Appropriate signage will be made available by the private contractor for the tenants for their own installations (such as on the underside of the bin's lid). These visual prompts (such as Figure 2 below) will assist in the proper disposal of the different types of waste.

WASTE STORAGE

1 x 360L bins for general rubbish and 1 x 360L bins for recycling will be provided for the development by the private contractor

Both bin types will be stored in the dedicated storage area within the car park.

Building users will dispose of all type of rubbish in the dedicated bins in the storage area. The service area will be mechanically ventilated to help reducing odours related to the waste. The staff, cleaner or building manager will ensure that the bin storage area remains clean and clear to avoid attracting vermin and maintain easy access. The cleaner/office manager will be responsible for emptying the office bins into the shared bins in the car park.

Access to a tap will be provided in the storage area.

Location of bins is highlighted in the figure below (green and yellow):

WASTE COLLECTION & DISPOSAL

Private collection is proposed for the development as the kerbside around the site are limited and the proposed bins would encroach on the pedestrian area on collection day.

Collection will be made directly from Rokeby Street. The private waste contractor will stop in front of the car park entrance on Rokeby Street and roll the bins directly from their storage area to the truck and put them back in the storage area once empty.

Collection of both general rubbish and recycling will occur once per week. The collection will require two separate trucks, one each for general rubbish and recyclables.

Collection will occur outside of peak traffic hours and will be in accordance with EPA and The City of Yarra requirements, so as to minimise any traffic disturbance for staff or visitors entering or exiting the site.

OTHER WASTE TYPES

The private contractor will provide hard waste collection. Method and frequency of collection will be confirmed once the private contractor is engaged.

E-Waste will be banned from landfill from 1st July 2019. Occupants will be required to dispose of their E-waste at their nearest drop-off point. Nearest e-waste recycling drop-off point can be found on Planet Ark's Recycling Near You at https://recyclinqnearyou.com.au/electrical.

The following section is sourced from the City of Yarra Waste and Recycling web page. Apart from the collection of recyclables from the bins provided, the occupants can actively donate/dispose of other non-regular rubbish such as electronic waste and large objects at the nearby Waste Transfer Station listed below:

WASTE REDUCTION SUGGESTION

Composting

Nowadays, almost up to 50% of our household waste is food and organic material. This particular waste could be recovered for composting and avoid being put in landfill. The organic waste is put into a compost bin which, over time, will decompose and recycle the organic waste and transform it into a natural fertiliser. The use of compost bins should be encouraged for the occupants.

Reduction of plastic bag

Up to four billions or 20,000 tonnes of plastic bags are sent to landfill each year in Australia. There are some ways to reduce the plastic bag usage of the household:

• Use re-useable bags, cardboard boxes or baskets when shopping; and • Use supermarkets and shops that endorse re-usable bags, or provide recycling outlet for plastic bags.

00 a) tin Recycling

In order to minimise the waste production of the household, it is important to recycle effectively and try to select recycled product when possible. There is a range of practical things easy to do at home to improve recycling:

• Remove lids and empty bottles when recycling; • Recycle newspapers; • Buy product with minimal packaging or/and with recycled material content; • Buy recycled products (e.g. toilet paper); and • Ensure recycling materials is not spoiled (e.g. food scraps) before recycling.

PREVENTATIVE MEASURES

Disposal Procedures

Staffs/cleaner/building manager are to ensure that all internal general rubbish bin bags are tied up securely before being placed in the bins. They will also ensure that recyclables are placed in the yellow lidded bins in a way that minimises potential litter and overflow (for example crushing boxes, cans and plastic bottles).

Maintenance

As a minimum, staffs/cleaner/building manager will be required to keep the bins neatly placed in their storage areas. To further reduce the risk of litter, staffs/cleaner/building manager will be asked to make sure bins are not overfilled and to keep the lids closed. The above measures will minimise the dispersion of site litter and risk of vermin. The staffs/cleaner/building manager will be required to conduct periodic maintenance of their bins such as wash-downs and any necessary repairs/replacements will need to be organised with the private contractor.

SUMMARY

Correct implementation and occupant induction to the WMP will ensure that all waste streams are correctly disposed of and sorted into their proper bins. Proper bin management will ensure that all waste is stored & collected efficiently and effectively without compromising the amenity, capacity and tidiness of the storage areas. The private contractor will supply the bins and will be responsible for bin collection once a week for general waste and recyclables.
