Info

In the period 1991 to 2001, the population of Liverpool increased by approximately 56,000people, an increase of 60% over 1991 levels. This is the highest growth recorded in NSW. Infuture, population growth will continue in Liverpool as new residential zoned areas arereleased for development, as well as from changes in demographics. By 2019, with aprojected population of around 260,000 people, Liverpool is expected to be the second mostpopulous LGA in Sydney, behind Blacktown.3.2.2 Demographic ProfileLiverpool is a young and culturally diverse municipality. Presented in Table 3.2 is list of keydemographic features of Liverpool LGA with a comparison to greater Sydney.Table 3.2. Demographic Profile of Liverpool LGA and Greater SydneyFeature Liverpool LGA Greater Sydney% of population born overseas 38% 31%% language other than Englishspoken at home44% 27%Median age (years) 30 34Median Weekly Individual Income $400-$499 $400-$499Median Weekly Household Income $800-$999 $800-$999Mean Household Size (persons) 3.2 2.7% Multi-Unit Dwellings (MUDs) 16% 32%% Single Unit Dwellings (SUDs) 84% 68%Source: Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2001 Census dataRecent analyses of waste management systems in NSW conducted by the NSW JurisdictionalRecycling Group (NSW JRG; 2003) suggest that age, income and non-English speakingbackground can have a notable influence on waste management practices and recyclingperformance. For systems to be effective, appropriately targeted education campaigns mustbe engaged that account for such demographic characteristics.Liverpool City Council5Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Strategy
3.3 Existing Waste Collection SystemsLiverpool City Council offers to its residents a four-stream collection system for domesticwastes as follows:GarbageDry Recyclables(commingled containers)Dry Recyclables(paper/cardboard)Household CleanupWeekly collection from 240 L Mobile Garbage Bins(MGBs)Fortnightly collection from 90 L black cratesFortnightly collection from 90 L blue cratesBooked collection with general waste (two freecollections provided per year) and whitegoods/metalsseparated at source (unlimited collections provided)Council does not currently provide:• a separate garden organics collection;• a dry recyclables collection service for the majority of multi-unit dwellings; and• any commercial waste or recycling collections.Existing arrangements for the collection and receival/processing of domestic wastes,together with associated contractual arrangements are summarised in Table 3.3.The 90 L crates used for collection of dry recyclables in Liverpool are not common. Mostcrate-based collection systems use crates of smaller size (55L or 60L) with collections usuallyprovided weekly. In Liverpool the lower collection frequency (in the current system,fortnightly) is partly compensated by the increased size of the crates. By comparison, manyCouncils in Sydney have opted for Mobile Garbage Bins (MGB) for fortnightly collection of dryrecyclables.There is no contract in place for receival and disposal of collected domestic garbage. Materialdelivered to Waste Management Centres is charged by WSN Environmental Solutions(formerly Waste Service NSW) on an ongoing spot gate-fee basis. The current (2004/2005)cost to dispose of putrescible wastes at WSN Environmental Solution's Eastern Creek WasteManagement Centre is $79.20/tonne (excluding GST).To meet future garbage processing and disposal needs, Council is currently preparing atender for reprocessing/disposal of this material in line with the key principles andobjectives of this Strategy (refer Section 1), as well as meeting its legislative requirementswith regard to contesting services.Liverpool City Council6Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Strategy
