A storage capacity of 2 days is provided for general waste and equates to 3 collections per week on a 5-day per week operation. A Collection
frequency of 2 days per week or 4 days per fortnight has been established for commingled recycling and is consistent with Noosa Council’s
Minimum Service level for non-residential uses. Given the putrescible nature of the refuse and potential impact to surrounding amenity, TTM
considers the proposed frequency to be a suitable service frequency for this development type.



2.2.         Refuse Profile
The refuse generated by childcare centres predominately originates from the kitchen and food preparation activities – if included, and from
consumables (nappies). Kitchen refuse consists largely of food organics from food scraps and food packaging, the volume of refuse generated from
consumables is variable in nature dependant on the age composition of childcare places.

The general waste generated within childcare centres consists of putrescible and highly odorous materials and is typically marginally heavier than
domestic general waste. Food organics may be separated from the general waste stream and composted on site to reduce the overall volume and
weight of general waste sent to landfill. Storing general waste in 240L bins enables ease of changes to services should Noosa Council adopt food
organics collections services or South Australian specialised nappy recycling trials prove successful and services become commonplace nationwide.

Commingled recycling comprises cardboard and other food packaging materials and to a lesser extend paper from craft activities. Depending on
chosen suppliers or quantity of placements, cardboard may be bulky and should be broken down before placing in bins to prevent overfilling bins.
