26 Zero Waste SA is continuing to assist those councils who wish to implement higher performing kerbside systems by awarding funding upon achieving specified performance criteria. Kerbside Performance (Regional Recycling) Incentive Program In 2002, councils diverted on average only 20% of kerbside collected material from landfill. Since Zero Waste SA began financial incentive programs in 2004, metropolitan councils and some regional councils have installed uniform high-performing kerbside recycling systems, and introduced education and awareness and other initiatives. Kerbside recycling efficiencies and volumes have significantly improved. Dispersed population centres and considerable transport distances to Adelaide-based recycling markets make recycling in non-metropolitan councils more difficult. Zero Waste SA is continuing to assist those councils who wish to implement higher performing kerbside systems by awarding funding upon achieving specified performance criteria. Funding under the Kerbside Performance (Regional Recycling) Incentive Program was provided in 2010–11 to four regional councils: > Naracoorte Lucindale Council ($39,000) > District Council of Lower Eyre Peninsula ($21,120) > District Council of Barunga West ($12,960) > District Council of Loxton Waikerie ($63,600).
Commercial and Industrial Wastes 27 Recycling at Work An estimated 250,000 tonnes of potential recyclables go to landfill every year from Adelaide’s commercial and industrial sector. Zero Waste SA’s $3 million Recycling at Work program started in October 2008 and metropolitan businesses have continued efforts under this program. The scheme receives support from the Australian Packaging Covenant ($576,800). Funding supports purchase of recycling bins by Adelaide businesses and supplies financial incentives for 11 waste collection companies (Foodwaste Recyclers, SOLO, Peats Soil and Garden Supplies, SITA, Transpacific Industries, Amcor, Remondis, Veolia, The Jeffries Group, Signal and Visy Recycling) to improve recycling services for business. A total of 1,490 properties, many containing multiple businesses, have installed 3,800 new recycling bins since the program began with shopping precincts, restaurants and cafes, schools and universities, hospitals and aged care facilities, police stations, and state and local government agencies taking part. This has resulted in the diversion of 7,819 tonnes of material from landfill since the program began in 2008.
