Providing Integrated Council Waste Collection and Disposal Solutions that Use Innovative Recycling a

With urbanisation and population growth resulting in an ever-increasing variety of waste materials and streams, municipal governments face unique challenges in providing optimal and safe waste management solutions. As councils play an active role in the waste disposal of households and organisations in the municipality, they need to use council waste management solutions that minimise risks to public health and to the environment. Council hard rubbish consists of non-hazardous trash generated from households, commercial and business establishments that needs to be managed in a compliant way for its safe treatment and disposal.

The manner in which these services are delivered varies by region. Household waste may be disposed of at transfer stations in some areas, while in others, the council may collaborate with a waste management service provider. In Australia, council waste management services are managed by a mix of public, private, and public-private partnerships. Council rubbish collection services for council hard rubbish operations of waste infrastructure are also carried out by the private players. Transfer stations, container systems, material recovery facilities, and composting facilities are frequently operated by a partnership of local governments and private companies contacted by local governments or alternative waste treatment facilities for waste collection and disposal.
