2           Refuse Management
This section describes the arrangements for the collection, storage, transfer and disposal of refuse within the
development. This includes associated bin quantities, storage capacities, equipment details, collection
frequencies and site access details.

2.1.        Refuse Collection
2.1.1.      Bin Quantities
Table 2.1 outlines the number of bins per collection. As waste volumes may vary according to the
development occupants’ attitudes to waste disposal and recycling, bin numbers and sizes may need to be
altered to suit the building operation. The table shows the maximum number of bins and equipment
expected.

Table 2.1: Bins per Collection
 Refuse Stream                      Bin / Equipment - Type or Size         Collection Frequency        Bins per Collection

 Commingled Recycling                             1100L                         2 (per week)                   6

2.1.2.      Collection Cycle
Table 2.2 outlines the RCV types and estimated collection frequencies / site entries required to service the
site. The type of vehicles allocated, and demand will be subject to final design and potential volume
reduction equipment. The figures demonstrated apply as an indicative maximum demand and servicing days
will be subject to coordination between building management and SCC.

2.1.3.      RCV Arrangements
Refuse vehicles will enter and exit the site in a forward gear via Hofmann Drive. A single reversing
manoevure is required around the loading area to exit the site in a forward gear.

The loading area provided for the RCV has a minimum 3.5m width, 12m length, unobstructed height
clearances for servicing and is on a generally flat gradient of 1:50.

All bins will be stored and collected directly from the refuse room, in close proximity to the loading area.



Site: 17-19 Hofmann Drive, Noosaville                                                                                        9
