Waverley Council State of the Environment Activities 2005/2006 Waste Planned Activities Page No Waste audit on Bondi Beach targeting cigarette butts. 146, 159 The waste audit on Bondi Beach targeting cigarette butts was undertaken by Council’s Environment Officer on 4 February 2006. A 2m x 2m section of sand was audited resulting in 6 butts being found. This is a significant reduction from audits previously undertaken n January 2005 – 14 butts and January 2004, prior to the smoking on the beach ban – 61 butts. The significant initial drop from 2004 to 2005 is attributed to Council’s new beach rake, which has the capability to collect cigarette butts. The further 50% reduction from 2005 to 2006 is due to the success of Council’s education strategies surrounding the smoking on the beach ban. Number of sustainability education programs run by Council each 149, 164 year. Environmental Services, in conjunction with Resource Recovery and Bushcare have co-ordinated 10 workshops to improve community awareness on environmental issues. These have included Household Water Conservation, Problem Solving with Native Plants, Marine Discovery Walks, Gardening with Native Plants, Green Cleaning, Reuse Gardening, Composting / Worm Farming, Spotlighting and No Dig Gardening. Number of residents participating in environmental education 149, 164 programs. In the 2005/2006 reporting period, 5152 residents participated in environmental education programs, which is an increase from 2590 in 2004/2005. This rise in participation rates occurred across all areas of Council’s environmental education program, including community clean ups, workshops, energy and water saving retro-fit programs, festivals and school programs. It reflects the growth of Councils commitment to environmental education, which this year included the appointment of a new environmental education position to implement sustainable transport programs such as Walk to School initiatives and the Waverley Family Bike Fair.

162 Waverley Council State of the Environment Activities 2005/2006 Waste Planned Activities Page No Residential waste collected weekly. 187 The domestic waste service operated according to schedule. The new run design has continued the high standard of service but also allows for efficiencies in time allocation and environmental concerns. Increase recycling. 187 The community combined has increased recycling in the vicinity of 2,000 tonnes per annum. Council initiatives and education will continue to provide avenues for additional recycling. The recycling program has been so successful that to have any further significant increases is reliant upon new technology to accept additional material types at the recycling centres. Reduce landfill. 187 The introduction of the new recycling service has resulted in a significant reduction in waste being sent to landfill. According to the statistics this was in the vicinity of 2400 tonnes per annum. Unfortunately the increase in recycling did not result in the same reduction to landfill. This would be the result in the total amount of waste generated in the LGA. Scheduled clean up and green waste programs implemented as 187 per program. Clean up – Target achieved. Greens – Target not achieved due to additional volume. Respond to residential complaints regarding Resource Recovery 187 Services. All formal complaint dealt with.
