6.10 Multi Unit Dwellingsa) Strategic ObjectiveTo develop and implement resource recovery services tailored to Multi Unit Dwellings with aview to maximising resource recovery.b) Current PracticesAs at June 2004, there were some 8,700 Multi Unit Dwellings (MUDs) in Liverpool LocalGovernment Area, representing 16% of the total dwellings. Council does not currentlyprovide a dry recyclables collection service for the majority of these dwellings. HoweverCouncil’s DCP for such developments requires that space be provided in bin bays for storageof 240 L recycling bins for future kerbside recycling programs.Should a kerbside service be introduced for MUDs, the education and behaviour changeprogram should be further developed to include guidance to residents of MUDs on correctwaste management and recycling practices. In developing educative materials,consideration should be given to demographic characteristics and the relatively higherturnover of residents in MUDs compared to Single Unit Dwellings.In developing this Strategy, a Triple Bottom line (TBL) assessment of different serviceprovision options for MUDs, including estimate of costs and environmental effects, wasundertaken (see Section 5). This may be used, together with the outcomes of planned trialresource recovery programs, to support future decisions in relation to services for MUDs.c) Information SourcesResource NSW (2002), Better Practice Guide for Waste Management in Multi-Unit Dwellings,February 2002Liverpool City Council77Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Strategy
