Where are we heading?<br />
We will continue to work with residents to maximise diversion<br />
through the kerbside system. Education programmes are targeting<br />
the maximum diversion of organic waste from households and<br />
ensuring we minimise contamination of the organic and recyclable<br />
streams.<br />
We will continue to actively participate in the Canterbury Waste<br />
Joint Committee, with programmes for waste reduction and<br />
monitoring that reduce waste to landfill across the region.<br />
The capping programme at Burwood Landfill will be completed in<br />
<strong>2010</strong>/11 but ongoing restoration works in the form of tree planting<br />
will continue. The landfill will supply landfill gas to QE II Pool, Art<br />
Gallery and new Civic Building. Any surplus gas will be used at<br />
the new biosolids drying facility at the <strong>Christchurch</strong> Wastewater<br />
Treatment Plant.<br />
We are continuing to work with <strong>Council</strong> business units and the<br />
business community to reduce and reuse valuable materials<br />
such as paper, plastics, metals and glass. We will help facilitate<br />
diversion of organic material from commercial and industrial<br />
premises to the new compost plant to reduce organic material going<br />
to landfill.<br />
The 2006 Waste Management Plan will be reviewed in <strong>2010</strong>/11<br />
financial year.
