www.hurunui.govt.nz Waste Management and Minimisation Plan - Summary Introduction Our Waste Management and Minimisation Plan describes our vision for this activity including our objectives, policies and targets to enable residents, businesses and ratepayers to have access to an efficient, reliable, safe and cost effective service. We are committed to working to reduce the levels of waste disposed of into landfill. We continually review our waste and recycling services and facilities to ensure effectiveness, efficiencies and affordability. The Waste Management and Minimisation Plan outlines objectives that we will focus on over the next six years. Sometimes changes will be necessary (including potential contractor changes as these expire during the life of the Plan), but we will ensure that any such changes are consistent with the Plan’s objectives. Please refer to the full Plan on our website for further information. Under the Waste Minimisation Act (2008), all Councils are required to have a Waste Management and Minimisation Plan and meet a number of specific requirements including: • Having due regard for the waste hierarchy – reduce, reuse, recycle, recover, treatment and disposal. • Considering the findings and recommendations of our most recent waste assessment. We compiled our Waste Management and Minimisation Plan at a time when the management of waste and recycling in the district has undergone significant change, with the introduction of the combined model in early 2009 and subsequent contractual changes the following year. We are working towards the future with the planned construction of a new transfer station in Amberley, the reviewing of existing contractual arrangements and the need to improve efficiencies to ensure effective and affordable waste management and recycling services are provided at all times.

Hurunui Community Long Term Plan 2012 - 2022 The funding of our waste management and recycling services is achieved through: Activities • Targeted rates • Uniform Annual Charge • User charges • Waste levy reimbursement The Waste Management and Minimisation Plan outlines actions and activities that will be undertaken during the life of the plan to provide efficient, effective and affordable waste management and minimisation services. Many of the activities are business-asusual and some are new. Some of these are outlined here, but please refer to the full Plan on our website for more information. Key Issues and Challenges We face a number of ongoing waste management and minimisation issues and challenges, such as those listed below: • A low rating base which covers a wide geographical area • An increase in illegal dumping as landfill costs rise • Market uncertainty for recyclable materials • The impact of waste related legislation and policy Increased public awareness programmes including: • piloting a schools education programme • supporting the Paper 4 Trees school scheme • providing recycling public workshops • developing guidance material for the agriculture sector Working with Target Sustainability to undertake waste audits with local businesses • Evaluating the introduction of domestic kerbside glass collection in urban areas • Evaluating the possibility of introducing dual refuse/recycling collection in all urban areas • Considering the use of wheelie bins, plastic crates and plastic sacks • Considering the acceptance of commercial waste in the design of the new Amberley Transfer Station • Reviewing transfer station operating hours • Promoting home composting including investigating the possibility of providing subsidised compost bins • Considering trialling putrescible (food scraps etc) waste collection in Amberley or Hanmer Springs • Considering the advantages and disadvantages of using pre-paid bags for refuse • Licensing operators collecting or disposing of waste in the Hurunui district and advocating for regional/nationwide licensing requirements 267
