1.1 Key Principles of the StrategyThe Strategy embodies the following principles as part of its approach to waste:• Addressing resource recovery and waste management within the context of agreedsustainability principles.• Moving Liverpool away from a waste disposal approach to a resource recovery andwaste minimisation approach to its municipal waste stream.• Managing responsibly all wastes generated by households (and where possiblecommercial operations) so that maximum levels are recovered, in priority of netpresent resource value.• Utilising recovered resources for their highest environmental value.• Directing the responsibility for management of waste to the generator of that waste.• Disposing or recovering locally, waste and excess resources generated locally wherepossible.• Assuming environmental stewardship for any residual waste disposed to landfill.1.2 Key Objectives of the StrategyThe Strategy is intended to achieve the following primary objectives:1) Identify and prescribe for Liverpool City Council:• Good or best practice waste avoidance and resource recovery options for bothhousehold and Council-generated wastes;• Strategies for local commercial and industrial waste management to determine afeasible role for Council within the context of recent Department of Environment andConservation guidelines; and• Options to maximise the impact of current Council controls aimed at minimisingwaste from construction and demolition activities.2) Provide a context for Council to incorporate the State Government’s diversion fromlandfill targets as set out in the NSW’s Waste Avoidance and Resource RecoveryStrategy 2003.3) Provide strategic outcomes that address a balance between environmental, social andeconomic issues.4) Establish a framework for the introduction over time of improved resource recoverytechnologies and practices, while addressing integrated collection systems.Liverpool City Council2Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Strategy
