1 towards ZERO WASTE Information to assist in planning for a zero waste future
2 Context / Introduction This booklet is for Council, residents, not-for-profits, businesses, community groups, charities, students, Councillors and local members, and schools. It contains information on the current state of waste in the Marrickville local government area. Council is preparing a ten year Towards Zero Waste Strategy so that as a community we can reduce and deal with the thousands of tonnes of waste materials produced each year. Together we can answer the question How can we move to a zero waste community? Zero Waste adopts the Waste Hierarchy The Hierarchy encourages us to value waste as a resource, firstly by maximising resource use, then recycling and recovering, before finally considering disposal. AVOID / REDUCE REUSE RECYCLE RECOVER DISPOSE 2 Towards Zero Waste - Information to assist in planning for a zero waste future 3
3 IN A NUTSHELL More than 34,000 tonnes of material is collected from homes, apartment blocks, parks, community centres, streets and lanes each year. More than half (63%) goes to landfill. Council provides residential services: kerbside collections (red yellow and green lidded bins and booked household clean up) and drop off recycling (e-waste and chemicals, batteries, corks, mobile phones etc.) Businesses, schools, not-for-profit agencies, and community groups manage their waste and recovery of materials through private contractors. In asking the question How can we move from a waste to a zero waste community. Consider your role and the role of others, including Council, in the management of materials now and into the future. The following pages provide information about: Why we need to change The problems with landfill The materials that end up in landfill What is happening in other areas What is zero waste? A towards zero waste story 4 Towards Zero Waste - Information to assist in planning for a zero waste future 5

5 THE PROBLEMS WITH LANDFILL Landfill capacity With 445kg of waste generated per person per year and a growing population, landfill space in Sydney is running out. Within the next 5 years, Sydney landfills are expected to reach capacity, increasing reliance on the Woodlawn facility 225km south west of Sydney. Environment and human health Waste materials contain toxins that remain hazardous for decades - TVs contain mercury, arsenic, cadmium, PVC, solvents, acids and lead. The leachate (liquid formed when water filters through the landfill) is highly toxic and may pollute soils, ground water and waterways within and surrounding the landfill if not managed properly. Climate change The implications for global warming and climate change are enormous. Organic food and garden waste is compacted in landfill, removing oxygen and creating anaerobic conditions. This generates methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Methane is also flammable, and can become dangerous if allowed to build up (a legacy of older landfills). Emissions are also associated with the collection and transportation of waste. Local amenity Impacts on surrounding communities include dust, odour, litter, noise, pests and damage to local infrastructure from heavy vehicles. Transferring the burden Most of the waste generated in metropolitan Sydney is managed far from the local government area; we are paying for waste to be someone else s problem. Legacy of waste Waste buried in landfill becomes a problem for future generations. Modern landfills are subject to controls and licencing but we continue to manage impacts from redundant holes in the ground in metropolitan areas. Lost access to resources Once recoverable materials, like food organics and recyclables, are disposed of in landfill they are no longer available for recycling. Cost Landfill is the most expensive option for managing waste; in NSW the levy on each tonne of waste disposed to landfill is approximately $100/tonne. In 2011/2012 Council paid $1.7 million to dispose of waste to landfill and $1.6 million in levy costs. Most NSW landfills are privately operated for profit. 8 Towards Zero Waste - Information to assist in planning for a zero waste future 9

8 WHAT ABOUT WASTE FROM THE COMMERCIAL & BUILDING AREAS? GENERAL WASTE - RED BIN Council has no complete data from these areas however... Across NSW: More than 2,000,000 tonnes of commercial waste is sent to landfill each year. Of this 60% is organic material and 20% is packaging. Asbestos, contaminated soil, and concrete products are the most common materials sent to landfill; the waste levy has positively influenced recycling within the construction and development sector. In Marrickville: Marrickville Council does not provide any waste collection services for local business, schools, community groups, or not-for-profit groups; they manage their waste through private contractors. Waste management is often a lower a priority because of small volumes, and lower comparative operational costs. 24% RECYCLING 3% GREEN WASTE CASE STUDY 1 THREE STORY OFFICE BLOCK (Council s Administration Building) 29% 1% 7% 15% 3% 7% 4% 2% 7% 1% 24% IS RECYCLABLE MAtERIALS ELECtRICAL ItEMS OtHER PLAStIC FILM BuILDInG MAtERIALS non-recyclable PLAStIC FOOD AnD KItCHEn DISPOSABLE PAPER towels PLAStIC BAGS COntAMInAtED PAPER 17% OFFICE PAPER 4% MIxED PAPER 3% CARDBOARD 2% RECYCLABLE GLASS 3% RECYCLABLE PLAStIC 2% MAtERIALS 73% GENERAL WASTE RED BIN 14 Towards Zero Waste - Information to assist in planning for a zero waste future 15

10 HOW ONE CHANGE BY ONE PLAYER CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE A towards zero waste story Case Study 2: TVs Once upon a time TVs were large and bulky and when they broke, often 20 years after they were first brought home from the department store, they were thrown into the bin and taken away, never to be thought of again. Australia was smaller, there were fewer people, we burned our rubbish in the backyard, and there was lots and lots of land. This is how the system worked... MANUFACTURER RETAIL CONSUMER LANDFILL (COUNCIL) However fairly soon governments realised that big, bulky TVs - and many other things - were poisoning the land with toxic heavy metals. Australian cities were growing, communities were living closer and closer to the tip, and complaints about noise and smell began to escalate. At the same time, TVs were getting cheaper, and more people were buying more TVs. Industry saw an opportunity all those precious metals and plastics could be recycled into something else. While this was a good thing, somehow the community had become gripped with a level of consumerism that had taken hold in every aspect of every person s life, buying ever-cheaper, newer, thinner TVs (which broke much more quickly than the big and bulky TVs). All this was happening despite the community becoming more and more concerned about protecting and improving the quality of life (including free health care, good public transport, access to clean food, water and air, cultural richness, a fair go for all). What to do about it? How can an individual change the world? The government introduced a new law. TV producers had to take responsibility for their products at the end of their life. One change in law has made a world of difference. This is how this system works now MANUFACTURER RETAIL CONSUMER DESIGNER GOVERNMENT INDUSTRY RECYCLER The Australia Government introduced a new law, the Product Stewardship Act 2011, which requires producers of televisions and computers to be responsible for recycling their products when they reach the end of their useful life. Australians disposed of 106,000 tonnes of televisions and computers in , with only 10% recycled (largely through Council collections). The product stewardship scheme anticipates that 80% of televisions and computers will be recycled by (currently around 30%). In 2011/12 over 4000 Marrickville Council residents brought more than 180 tonnes of e-waste to Council for recycling. 95% of it was recycled. Now with Product Stewardships that 95% is recovered by the manufacturer. So How Can We Make A Difference? How Can Marrickville Move Towards Zero Waste? 18 Towards Zero Waste - Information to assist in planning for a zero waste future 19
