4 3rd Baltic Biowaste Conference, 23/24 Nov. 211, Vilnius Simple collection trucks also for bio-bins Biowaste Paradigm for optimisation TOOLS AND STRATEGIES TO CUT COSTS Buckets litres hand-picked saves time collection time per pick-up point: 2-6 Tool Reducing pick-up time Details Hand pick-up of small receptacles much faster than mechanical loading Cheaper transport Lower amount of waste to be managed (avoids excess deliveries of garden waste) Reduced frequency for collection of Residuals Effective systems to collect biowaste make its percentage in Residuals less than 15 % Home composting is enhanced Reduction of costs!! Use of bulk lorries instead of packer trucks Bulk density of food waste is much higher (.7kg/dm3) than garden waste 5 Seasonal fluctuations garden waste Collection of garden waste Quantity (kg) Monthly Collection Trends - Green and Kitchen Biowaste Green and wood waste Kitchen biowaste Month Monthly quanties collected (aggregate PD1 Favoino at Civic Amenity sites / recycling Centres at the doorstep less frequent than food waste 8-11 l Paper bags for fine garden waste (grass clippings / leaves) 2 4 collection campaigns at the kerbside for bulky garden waste [bush and tree cuttings] On DEMAND with/without Shredder service higher participation in home composting programmes Titolo 4

5 3rd Baltic Biowaste Conference, 23/24 Nov. 211, Vilnius Collection of GARDEN WASTE Green waste delivery at the RECYCLING CENTRE LEAVES 1,1 Summary remarks Separate collection of biowaste a PROVEN strategy Similar schemes deliver similar results everywhere MAKE IT HAPPEN! intensive collection of food waste may deliver High separate collection rates high diversion of BMW savings on cost of managing waste Thanks for your attention!
