The materials currently recovered from kerbside recycling (Table 6.1) are consistent with DEC’spreferred range of materials as outlined in their Good practice performance measures forkerbside recycling systems. It is noted that, as Council’s kerbside recycling contract comes upfor renewal, there may be scope to expand the range of materials (especially plastics) thatcan be collected and recovered. Other products that are non-toxic and could potentially becollected by kerbside systems include clothing, small appliances (toaster, kettles, irons, etc)other consumer recyclables (phones, compact discs, video cassettes, books, batteries). Theinclusion of these materials is subject to price considerations, Extended ProducerResponsibility schemes, as well as availability of reprocessing infrastructure and markets.Council does not currently provide:Garden organics collection service;Commercial waste or recycling collection services.In developing this Strategy a Triple Bottom line (TBL) assessment of different core serviceprovision options, including estimate of costs and environmental effects for each option, wasundertaken (see Section 5). On the basis of the assessment, the recommended future wasteand recycling services comprised Options 1, 2 or 3 as detailed in Section 5.On the basis of community feedback during consultation, assessments of separated organicscollections by DEC, and in order to meet strategic objectives of maximising resource recovery,the three bin system identified as Option 1 in combination with AWT is the preferredcollection system.Table 6.2: Future Waste and Recycling Service Collection SystemOptionDwellingTypeGarbage ServiceKerbside RecyclingServiceOrganics RecyclingServiceOption 1 SUDs 120 L binscollected weekly,MBT processingMUDs240 L binscollected weekly,MBT processing240 L fullycommingledrecycling bincollectedfortnightly240 L fullycommingledrecycling bincollectedfortnightly (1)240 L gardenorganics bincollectedfortnightlyService only whereorganics levelgenerated requirescollection(1)Dependent on recycling trials proposed under Section 6.10: Multi-unit dwellingsFrom an implementation perspective Council may choose to implement a system similar tothat assumed for Option 2 or 3 using AWT (depending on the outcome of future tenders forCouncil’s residual waste processing/disposal – see Section 6.2). Following implementationand assessment of (financial and environmental) performance, Council may choose toexpand its service provision through the introduction of a garden organics collection service.Liverpool City Council59Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Strategy
