 The overall distribution of greenwaste collected from the organic waste survey is
 shown in Figure 5.1 above. The characteristics of the greenwaste for the four
 different survey areas is contained in Figure 5.2.
 On aggregate, for the four survey areas — Sunrise Beach, Tewantin Noosa, Heads                 .
 and Noosa Waters fruit and vegetable scrapes comprised 4% of the total greenwaste
 collected. It ranged from 3% to 5% for the four different areas. Higher percentages
 were found to be associated with areas that wrapped the product in newspaper.
