were provided by the contractor:

A total of 19 Cleanaway staff were involved in the collection program

Of the 24,308 properties that were entitled to the collection service, a series of small indicative
surveys revealed 1 in 2.5 properties participated in the service, this being 9,723 properties.

The two crane trucks and the Possi Track fork lifts were utilised for collection of metallic
recyclable items such as refrigerators, stoves, dryers etc. Metal items were collected separately
from other items and taken to the steel recyclables area at the landfill.
