p90. Annual Report Christchurch Otautahi 2010 Council activities and services Refuse minimisation and disposal Council activities and services Refuse minimisation and disposal What is refuse minimisation and disposal and what does the Council do? We collect and dispose of the city’s rubbish and work with the community to reduce the waste we send to landfill. Encouraging residents and businesses to recycle and reduce the amount of waste they create is increasingly important. We monitor disused landfills around the city and are responsible for the capping and aftercare of the old Burwood landfill. Why is the Council involved in refuse minimisation and disposal? We provide solid waste collection, treatment and disposal services in order to protect the health of the community. Our involvement in waste reduction, reuse and recycling reflects the importance placed on the sustainable use of resources. Local government is responsible for promoting the cultural, economic, environmental and social well-being of communities for the present and the future. Refuse minimisation and disposal activities contributes to the environmental and economic well-beings of the community by ensuring the reliable removal of refuse, the recycling of any resources in that refuse, and the disposal of any residue in a cost effective and environmentally acceptable manner. They also contribute toward the achievement of the city’s Community Outcomes by helping to make Christchurch a city of people who value and protect the natural environment and a healthy city – two of the nine goals for our city that are included in our Community Outcomes. This contribution is made by enabling and encouraging waste minimisation and recycling, and by providing a safe collection and disposal of refuse. For more information on these nine goals see the Community Outcomes section of this report. What activities are included in refuse minimisation and disposal? Recyclable materials collection and processing We aim to reduce the amount of rubbish we send to landfill by collecting recycling from homes and public places, educating the public about the benefits of reusing and recycling materials, and by sorting and processing recyclable materials so they can be reused. Organic material collection and composting We collect kitchen and garden waste from homes and turn it into compost for resale. We also encourage people to set up their own compost bins at home to reduce the amount of waste we send to landfill. Residual waste collection and disposal Not everything can be recycled and we collect and transport this remaining waste to landfill. We also look after old landfills to make sure they do not harm the environment; at the old Burwood land fill site, methane gas is captured, piped underground and used to power city buildings. Commercial and industrial waste minimisation Businesses are encouraged to limit the amount of waste they produce. We help them by offering programmes and services – such as the Target Sustainability project – that reduce waste and make businesses more energy and water efficient. How does it affect me? Properly disposing of rubbish and reducing the amount we send to landfill helps to create a healthy, safe environment for us to live in.
