Waste Management and Minimisation Plan 2009 - DRAFT

Summary 

The Council’s Waste Minimisation Plan, adopted in December 2005, is being revised to reflect changing 

perspectives about waste, both nationally and locally, since that time. 

Specifically, these changes are; 

• A desire for better service delivery, particularly for recycling systems; 

• A clear definition of what the Palmerston North City Council will deliver in terms of waste minimisation and 

waste management, including costs; 

• A clear response to the requirements of the Waste Minimisation Act 2008, including a greater commitment 

to the reduction of waste. 

Therefore this plan includes; 

• A vision that adopts the aim of the New Zealand Waste Strategy 

• A series of guiding principles to assist with decision making. 

• A basic waste assessment, and 

• A series of strategies to achieve the vision. 

Key elements of this Plan are; 

• A continuing move towards diversion of wastes from landfills and cleanfills 

• Recognition of the private sector in generating and handling wastes 

• Defining a leadership role for the Palmerston North City Council to work effectively with both our 

neighbouring Councils and the private sector. 

Introduction 

A key part of Palmerston North becoming a leading city in the quest for environmental sustainability is to 

change our approach to waste, by avoiding producing waste and to minimise the amount placed in landfills. 

It is anticipated that the cost of burying waste will increase over coming years as a result of landfills closing 

down, higher transport prices as fuel costs rise and as the waste levy, which must be paid on waste disposed 

of in landfills, increases. 

In addition, since the Council’s current Waste Management and Minimisation Plan was adopted in December 

2005, the Waste Minimisation Act (2008) has come into force that requires the Council to review its plan. 

For these reasons the Council established a Waste Minimisation Taskforce 1 comprising councillors, council 

officers, community and industry representatives to undertake a review and prepare this consultation 

document. 

Now we want to hear what you think about it. 

Submissions are sought on the framework and strategies outlined in this document. Details on how to make 

your views known to Council are included at the end of this document. 

Councillors will consider your views about this Plan, changing it where appropriate, before adopting it in 

August 2009.

The Taskforce comprised of Crs John Hornblow (Chair) and Chris Teo-Sherrell, Jonathon Hannon, Terry Kelly, David Forrest, David 

Bridges and council staff members Ray Swadel and Chris Pepper. The Taskforce met from August 2008 until March 2009.

Target 

The Taskforce recommends adopting the following measureable target to help us achieve our vision. 

By 2015, Palmerston North will divert 75% of the 

waste that we currently bury in landfills and cleanfills 

to beneficial uses of waste. 

This is something other leading councils in New Zealand have already achieved or are very close to achieving. 


Legislative & Policy Framework 

The Council must make decisions on the plan in accordance with the following Acts of Parliament and 

Government policy statements. 

1. 

2. 

3. 

4. 

Local Government Act 2002 

Sets out the role and statutory obligations of Council in relation to community engagement which 

are pertinent to this plan. 

Health Act 1956 

Sets out requirements with regard to public health in New Zealand including hygienic disposal of 

waste. 

Waste Minimisation Act 2008 

New legislation with regard to waste management with specific requirements for Councils in New 

Zealand to have up to date waste plans. 

New Zealand Waste Strategy 2002 

Sets out the New Zealand Government preferred outcomes for waste minimisation, in particular the 

prevention of waste production and access to waste minimisation facilities and services. 

The Waste Minimisation Act 2008 

The purpose of this Act is to encourage waste minimisation and decrease waste disposal in order to: 

a. 

b. 

Protect the environment from harm; and 

Provide environmental, social, economic, and cultural benefits. 

The Act contains seven parts; the most relevant parts to the Palmerston North community are: 

Part 2 Product stewardship. 

The purpose of this part is to encourage (and, in certain circumstances, require) the people and 

organisations involved in the life of a product to share responsibility for: 

• Ensuring there is effective reduction, reuse, recycling, or recovery of the product 

• Managing any environmental harm arising from the product when it becomes waste 

Part 3 

Part 4 

Waste disposal levy. 

The purpose of this part is to enable a levy to be imposed on waste disposed of in landfills in order to 

raise revenue for promoting and achieving waste minimisation. 

It is anticipated that PNCC will receive a sum of approximately $280,000 per annum to fund waste 

minimisation activities. These waste minimisation activities are identified in the Draft 2009/19 

10 Year Plan. 

Responsibilities of territorial authorities in relation to waste management and minimisation. 

These responsibilities include: 

• Having a regularly updated Waste Management and Waste Management and Minimisation Plan 

• Carrying out waste assessments 

• Powers to regulate waste practices through bylaws. 

The other parts of the Act are: Part 1 Preliminary provisions, Part 5 Offences and enforcement, Part 6 

Reporting and audits, and Part 7 Waste Advisory Board.

The Waste Management and 

Minimisation Plan 

The private sector collects and disposes of approximately 80% of the City’s waste. This includes some recycling 

and the operation of landfills. The private sector currently operates two transfer stations which are located at 

Matthews Avenue and Malden Street, as well as providing various waste collection and disposal services. 

Council provides a weekly kerbside recycling and rubbish bag collection service primarily aimed at residential 

areas. Council also operates two recycling centres at the Awapuni Sustainable Development Centre and 

Ferguson Street, plus a transfer station at Ashhurst. Recycling and greenwaste are processed by Council at 

the Awapuni Sustainable Development Centre.

(including

Given that Council controls only a small percentage 

of Palmerston North’s waste, it seeks to work 

collaboratively with other waste operators to divert 

waste from landfill. 

The Council also provides ancillary support by way 

of environmental education, membership of the Zero 

Waste Academy, membership of national bodies, 

and financial support to community based waste 

minimisation activities. 

This Plan promotes behaviours and activities which 

reduce the need to dispose of waste by placing citizens 

as high as possible up the “6R Waste Hierarchy”. 

Council’s immediate focus, if agreed, will be to provide 

an improved recycling collection system, provide 

facilities to process recyclables, and provide economic 

green and organic waste facilities. 

Provision will be made in the 10 Year Plan and 

subsequent Annual Plans to progressively implement 

this Waste Management and Minimisation Plan, 

and progress will be monitored through the Annual 

Report process.

Basic Waste Assessment 

A waste assessment is an estimate of the volume, make-up and flows of waste generated within each Council 

boundary. The waste assessment described in this Plan is based on the final year of operation of the Awapuni 

landfill (February 2006 to January 2007), during which period practically all waste, excluding rubble and 

concrete, generated in Palmerston North was deposited at the Council owned and operated Awapuni landfill, 

which closed on 31January 2007.

This composition and volume of waste 

generated in Palmerston North is expected 

to remain reasonably stable over the next 

few years as factors generating the waste 

such as industry and commercial sector 

structure, population and economic growth 

are not expected to change greatly. 

‘What’s in Palmerston North’s Waste’ shows 

that a large percentage of the current waste 

stream is able to be diverted from landfill. 

The taskforce has recommended that the 

Council focus first on the major fractions 

of the waste stream – recyclable material, 

organic wastes, and material currently 

being placed in cleanfills.

This is based on approximately 45,000 trips to the landfill and a solid waste analysis 

undertaken in the final year of operation. Tonnes of waste received from outside 

Palmerston North were deducted. The composition has been adjusted for rubble and 

concrete as these wastes were not placed in Awapuni. An estimate was made on the 

basis from landfills in other areas.
