Fees
Two new waste stream charges have been set up to better reflect their individual cost of processing as follows:
1. Building & demolition waste (high density)
These items are: Sands, soils, gravels, rocks, rubble, clay, cement, concrete, cement sheets, bricks, metals, pavers and tiles.
These are high density and heavy and attract high landfill and EPA charges. Council has no control over these charges and rather than pushing up the charges of other waste streams, Council has elected to charge these items independently.
To avoid the higher chargers these items must not be mixed with other waste. Mixing these items with other waste will result in charges being levied at the Building and Demolition Waste charge rate.
The Waste Transfer Station system is an expensive way of dealing with these waste items and clients are encouraged to contact landfill operators directly to see if they can negotiate better deals.
2. Cardboard/ paper
The method of handling and recycling of cardboard has been reviewed. The review demonstrated the high cost of baling and transport to Adelaide. To better identify ongoing costs cardboard has now been treated as separate to general recyclables e.g. glass and metal.
Other fees have been adjusted to better meet transfer and disposal costs. Due to high density building and demolition waste and cardboard being separated from the existing waste stream fees, the extent of increase in fees has been minimised.
It is highly recommended that to avoid being charged at a higher rate, that items are clearly separated for the operator to assess the appropriate fees.
Part loads or mixed loads may be priced at operator's discretion.
Recycling
