 Facilitate disposal from throughout the building and buses.
 Appointed staff are required to transfer refuse generated
 throughout the building and the buses to the refuse storage
 area for final disposal, this includes litter removal.
 General cleaning.
 Regular cleaning and maintenance of all refuse management
 facilities is important to maintain a safe and hygienic
 environment for visitors, staff and contractors.
 General cleaning is required for all refuse holding and transfer
 areas including
  • Refuse bins, rooms and storage areas
  • Refuse transfer areas including lifts and staircases
  • Any other refuse management equipment
 Perform spot checks on bin contents and refuse streams.
 Appointed staff regularly check for compliance and stream
 contamination. Early intervention prevents the development of
 poor practice and lost resources. Feedback and education is
 provided to the relevant parties (see below).
 Ongoing education and communication.
 On-going education is important to ensure people continue to
 use the facilities as originally intended and to avoid ongoing
 contamination of recoverable refuse streams.
 Appointed personnel should be actively involved in education
 of occupants and encouraging participation in recycling
 activities. Widespread communication of the achievements of
 the refuse strategy and areas for improvement encourage
 participant buy-in.
