Waste Minimisation and Recycling Collection Drivers in Palmerston North
![Page 5: WasteMINZ 2007 – Hamilton CastleBin Multi Compartment Kerbside Collection](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062811/568160df550346895dd00e07/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Waste Minimisation Drivers in Palmerston North
1. Closure of Awapuni Landfill on 31st January 2007 and significant long term increase in waste disposal costs
2. Replacement of City Enterprises (old technology) collection fleet3. Current manual collection using shopping bags leads to staff injuries and
significant litter issues.4. Waste and recycling services are core services of the Council and a
significant weekly interface between Council and household.5. Opening of Awapuni Recycling Centre and Long Term Partnership with
Fullcircle to increase recycling in general6. Adoption of Waste Minimisation Plan in November 2005 by Council7. Over 40% of waste deposited into Awapuni was paper and plastics which
are key materials in existing recycling collection 8. Separation of glass in kerbside collection
![Page 6: WasteMINZ 2007 – Hamilton CastleBin Multi Compartment Kerbside Collection](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062811/568160df550346895dd00e07/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Waste Minimisation Plan - 2005The Palmerston North has a number of goals under its Waste
Minimisation Plan 2005:
1. Strategy 1 – Maintain a comprehensive and effective rubbish collection and disposal service
2.Strategy 2 - Increase Recycling3. Strategy 3 – Establish a Resource Recovery Facility with a community
focus4. Strategy 4 – Provide hazardous waste disposal facilities where possible5. Strategy 5 – Provide environmental education6. Strategy 6 – Adopt a disposer pays policy7. Strategy 7 – Support a waste minimisation levy8. Strategy 8 – Take a leadership in waste minimisation in the community
![Page 7: WasteMINZ 2007 – Hamilton CastleBin Multi Compartment Kerbside Collection](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062811/568160df550346895dd00e07/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
“Going Greener” Goals1. Establish recycling industrial park
powered by renewable energy.
2. Increase domestic recycling rate from 30% to 50% by 2012
3. Implement Waste Minimisation Plan
![Page 8: WasteMINZ 2007 – Hamilton CastleBin Multi Compartment Kerbside Collection](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062811/568160df550346895dd00e07/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Key Factors in Kerbside Recycling Collection
There are a number of key factors in kerbside recycling collection:
1. Ease of use
2. Health and safety in collection
3. Collection volume, sort time and frequency
4. Cross contamination of material and source separation
5. Environmental factors – wind, rain, animal damage etc.
6. Household acceptance
![Page 9: WasteMINZ 2007 – Hamilton CastleBin Multi Compartment Kerbside Collection](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062811/568160df550346895dd00e07/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Recycling Trends in New ZealandThere are a number of trends in recycling in New Zealand:
1. Move away from waste disposal to resource recovery
2. Move to wheelie bins for collection – Auckland, Christchurch, Timaru South Taranaki etc
3. Long term Council contracts and partnerships with businesses
4. Service levels and costs have increased.
5. Recycling is an area where a Council can make a positive contribution to general environmental awareness.

Part 2
Recycling Collection Trial
Andrew Slack – TBL Solutions(Contract to Palmerston North City Council)
![Page 11: WasteMINZ 2007 – Hamilton CastleBin Multi Compartment Kerbside Collection](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062811/568160df550346895dd00e07/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Objectives of Kerbside Recycling Trial
Strategy 2 of the WMP has the overall objective of increasing recycling in Palmerston North. One of the main factors driving recycling collection volumes is household acceptance of the kerbside collection system.
Consequently the Council has undertaken a series of household acceptance trials.
The objective is to select the best overall system for Palmerston North looking at a 10 year life span.
![Page 12: WasteMINZ 2007 – Hamilton CastleBin Multi Compartment Kerbside Collection](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062811/568160df550346895dd00e07/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Structure of Recycling TrialThe sample size was 350 households from a population of 27,500.
This sample size is predicted to provide around a 5% margin of error.
Each trial area was split into 3.
Each trial was run for 12 weeks - 3 weeks on shopping bags (control period) and then 3 weeks on each of 3 new methods

Multi Criteria AnalysisRecycling Collection
Multi-Criteria Analysis1. Environmental Factors
2. Community Factors3. Economic Factors
Environmental Factors1. Recycling Volumes
2. Glass Recovery Rates3. Pest and /Wind Control
Community Factors1. Convenience and ease of handling
2. Litter Control3. Health and Safety(Collection and Household)
Economic Factors1. Overall capital investment2. On-going operating costs3. Relative Collection Cost
4. Relative Sorting/Processing Cost5. Glass Cross Contamination
6. System Wear and Tear
• MORE THAN LOWEST SHORT TERM CONTRACT COST
• The Palmerston North City Council has used a multi-criteria analysis to determine that a separate glass collection using bottle banks and/or bins is the best long term solution for glass collection.

Recycling Methods
4 kerbside recycling methods were trialed:
1. Shopping Bags (weekly)
2. 2 x Recycling Crates (weekly)
3. 240litre Standard Wheelie Bin
4. 240litre Castle (Multi Compartment) Wheelie Bin
![Page 17: WasteMINZ 2007 – Hamilton CastleBin Multi Compartment Kerbside Collection](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062811/568160df550346895dd00e07/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Shopping Bags – Current System
• Current system
• Nearly phased out in NZ
• Weekly manual system with health and safety issues
• City Enterprises trucks need significant re-investment
• Not much scope to increase volumes
• Time for change?
![Page 18: WasteMINZ 2007 – Hamilton CastleBin Multi Compartment Kerbside Collection](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062811/568160df550346895dd00e07/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Recycling Crates – Most Common in NZ
• Most common system in New Zealand
• Trend is to replace with commingled wheelie Bins
• Weekly Collection
• Volume is limited
• Material is sorted on street with health and safety issues
![Page 19: WasteMINZ 2007 – Hamilton CastleBin Multi Compartment Kerbside Collection](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062811/568160df550346895dd00e07/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Wheelie Bin – Rising Trend in NZ
• Most common system worldwide• Move to wheelie bin in NZ –
Auckland, Christchurch, Timaru etc• High penetration already in
Palmerston North ($200 plus per week)
• Flexible and automated pick-up• Fortnightly• Leads to increased participation and
volumes due to convenience• Has problem of cross (particularly
glass) contamination
![Page 20: WasteMINZ 2007 – Hamilton CastleBin Multi Compartment Kerbside Collection](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062811/568160df550346895dd00e07/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Castle Bin – Prototype Invented in Palmerston North
• Invented in Palmerston North by Glen Castle and PNCC recycling team
• All advantages of standard wheelie bin system
• Additional advantage of source separation and reduced post-processing costs
![Page 21: WasteMINZ 2007 – Hamilton CastleBin Multi Compartment Kerbside Collection](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062811/568160df550346895dd00e07/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Questionnaire Format

Castle Bin – Preferred Method(by Households)
“The multi-bin was very easy to use and the street looked so much tidier on collection day. I went from two rubbish bags each week down to one which I assume
meant I was recycling more”
“The multi-bin was more user friendly than the wheelie bin…”
“…the multi bin would probably make life easier as items are already separated”
“…Our family really liked the separate compartments of the multi bin. It’s a winner!!”
“I consider the multi bin to be the most economical as sorting will have generally been done by each household…”
“Multi bin was by far the best. Its easier for the recycling people as well”
“Loved the multi bin”

Castle Bin – Preferred Method(by Households)
• The ease of use of MWB systems allows the recovery from the 40% possible recyclers to increase
• Palmerston North has a goal to increase recycling to around 50% (compared to waste by weight) by 2012

CastleBin Summary
• The CastleBin is a New Zealand invention.
• It has an international patent for the bottom compartment.
• Glass is collected in the bottom and kept in a separate non compacting compartment in the split truck.
• The rest of the material is collected mixed and kept in a high compaction compartment in the split truck
