1 Intermunicipality for household waste management in Ostend and surrounding municipalities Sustainable waste management Ostend regio Collection of waste in a touristic region and PAYT

2 Overview Short presentation of the association IVOO Waste policy Implementation of PAYT: system used, history of the system, enforcement of the system, (evolution of) results Special focus on the specific problems encountered in the municipalities located at the coastline with a lot of tourist activity Lessons learned

4 Milestones Intermunicipality i IVOO is established tblihdin 1974 Motivation: it was difficult to find locations for landfills Solution: investment in a common incinerator. Incinerator in operation since end 1981 Capacity: ton/yr Recovery of energy: production of electricity; 500 kwh/ton WTE Additional APC in 1989, 1998 and Launch selective collection of waste in 8 containerparks between 1988 and 1995 (IVOOcontainerpark in 1991); 1995: Organisation selective collection of packaging waste: Glass: via bottle banks, colour separated Door to door: PC (paper/cardboard) and PMD (Plastic bottles and flasks, Metal packaging and Drinks cartons) 1998: composting plant for green waste (garden waste) 2000: selective collection of bulky waste (separated at source) 2001: co collection of paper/cardboard and PMD Coordination municipal policy (communication, retributions,...) Key figures: Balance total : 16,4 mio Turnover 2012: 11,8 mio, ( 7,9 mio in incinerator) Staff: 32, from which 25 for incinerator

11 Adaptations standard collection scheme Lots of street tdustbins in touristic ti area Higher density of bottle banks for glass (1/700 inhvs1/1000) Combined collection of paper/cardboard & PMD every 2 weeks (26 collections vs 12 for p/c and 24 for PMD) Additional collection of PC & PMD in touristic area in touristic season Bins and 120 litre bags for campings; mini containerparks oncampings Additional collection points on beach Additional communication (pictograms, 4 languages)

12 specific problems coastline with a lot of tourist activity Street dustbins are abused for restwaste, especially in case of a short stay Low selectivity waste collection from apartments, secondhomes, daytrippers (lessfor campings) Low quality PMD from campings and other touristic ti (and other) collectivities iti Practical problems at the coast: Wind can disturb collection of PC and PMD Seagulls destroy bags and scavenge on restwaste

13 Lessons learned conclusions Sl Selective collection of waste (D2D and containerparks) ti k)has a significant contribution to lesser restwaste (higher resource efficiency, less disposal, landfill diversification) PAYT for restwaste supports the selective collection significantly In a touristic region additional measures are necessary (more bottle banks, higher frequency for door to door collection,...) Opportunities for improvement: Collection PC Collection PMD Quality of PMD from touristic sector
