Recycling Program Enhancements

Project to implement best practices and enhancements to improve the performance of Perth’s recycling program. The project is providing funding support for the development of a new tender that includes the change to 2 stream collection from multi stream collection and processing for an expanded list of recyclable materials. The implementation aspect of the project includes the distribution of a second large capacity recycling container, expanding the types of materials included in the program, promotion and education initiatives in regards to the program changes, and some benchmarking and monitoring to measure the impact of the changes on the system. The expected outcome is to improve the programs efficiency and boost the recovery rate by a minimum of 5%.
