Council Agenda - 29-07-20 Page 147 FOR INFORMATION NGĀ MŌHIOTANGA TO Mayor and Councillors AUTHOR Steve de Laborde Infrastructure Systems and Planning Manager FILE REFERENCE Document: M2786301 PORTFOLIO HOLDER/S Councillor Duncan Smeaton Solid Waste Portfolio MEETING DATE Wednesday, 29 July 2020 SUBJECT Waste Management – Monthly Activity Report – June 2020 SUMMARY | TE WHAKARĀPOPOTANGA June saw the country in the full swing of Level 1. This meant that the waste collection services could go back to normal. However, it took a couple of weeks of collections for the public to get accustomed to the change. This included the change to only collecting Plastics 1 and 2. There were and still remain some contaminated bins, but the percentage on a whole is small. The capital project have been progressing steadily. Waihi’s scrap metal area should come on- line soon. RECOMMENDATION | TE WHAIKUPU THAT the report be received. Whaarangi 1 | 5 M 2786301 Council Agenda - 29-07-20 Page 148 1 PURPOSE | TE ARONGA The purpose of the report is to give Council a monthly update on the operations and capital work pertaining to the Waste Management activity. 2 BACKGROUND | TE KŌRERO Ā MUA HDC has a contract with Smart Environmental Ltd for a Kerbside collection of refuse and recycling and the management of the refuse transfer stations in Paeroa and Waihi. We also have a contract with Waste Management who manage the landfill at Tirohia. 3 ACTIVITY UPDATE Operations: Transport Tonnages: The tonnage of waste transported from the Paeroa and Waihi transfer stations to the landfill at Tirohia is presented in Figure 1. The increase due to everything going to landfill is somewhat notable. Figure 1: Waste Transported from RTS’s Diversion: Please Note: The graphs below include a recycling portion, while we know that everything was going to landfill. This is because some of the trucks are only registered for recycling, but they were being used for rubbish collection. The “Total” column reflects everything that went to landfill during that time. There was no recycling. Figure 2 below shows the weight in tons, of each waste stream coming from the three source areas managed in the contract, namely Kerbside collections and the Paeroa and Waihi Refuse Transfer Stations (RTS’s). It shows the current month plotted against the previous month for easy comparison. Whaarangi 2 | 5 M 2786301 Council Agenda - 29-07-20 Page 149 The definitions of the different components of the waste stream are as follows: Recycling: Mixed cardboard, plastics, aluminium, etc., from a Kerbside Wheelie Bin. Glass: As it says, but sorted into clear, green and brown. Cardboard: Cardboard on its own, not mixed, from RTSs. Commingle: The same as recycling, but from the RTSs. Green Waste: As it says and includes the category Mulch. Refuse: None of the above, everything that goes to landfill.
