Incidence of capacity issues residual waste bin
All residents in the City of Norwood Payneham St Peters pilot areas had
fortnightly residual waste collection during the pilot and were asked
whether they experienced capacity issues with their residual waste bin
during the pilot.
Frequently - every fortnight
At least once per month
Seldom, not enough to be an ongoing concern (they managed)
Rarely – only once or twice
39% (220) indicated that this had been a problem for them at least
once during the pilot period.
25% (142) claimed to have had a problem every fortnight.
61% (345) reported that there were no capacity problems.
The percentages for those reporting no capacity problems ranged from
45% for those with three or more in the household, to 82% for sole
occupants.
With the age groups, it was the older age group, over 60 who had the
least capacity problems (75%). The groups between 40 and 59, and
under 40 both had the same proportion of 58%.
Conversely it was those with three or more in the household (55%) and
families (54%) who had the highest incidence of capacity issues.

households with 3 or more (40%) and families (39%) who had the most
frequent problems.
