Waste Management Plan

 Cooking Oil           Waste oils should be disposed separately from general waste if large quantities are produced (e.g. in food and
 Waste                 beverage outlets). All waste liquids / oils (e.g. from commercial kitchens) should be separated and stored in
                       clearly labelled containers. Typically, waste oils are removed during delivery of new oils by the supplying
                       contractor.
                       Bunded areas or bunded plastic pallets should be supplied for the storage of liquid waste / oils and stored in a
                       levelled area (e.g. refuse room). Bunded pallets can be stored indoors or purpose built for outdoors. They
                       should be routinely inspected to ensure maintenance of their integrity. Each pallet should be capable of
                       storing of at least one-third of its contents if there is a leak.
 RECYCLING

 Commercial            Depending on the type of operations of the individual tenancies, different recycling materials may be
 Commingled,           produced. Items for recycling must not be bagged and disposed in loose form. This can be done by decanting
 including             the materials from the individual receptacles into a larger container / bin on a trolley for transport to the
  •   glass            refuse room.
                       Each hotel suite should be provided with a bin for disposal of commingled recycling. At least one bin should be
  •   aluminum
                       supplied per suite within the general room space and linked to the use of the desk or minibar (If provided).
  •   steel cans       The commingled recycling bin should accompany a waste bin (generally side by side).
  •   tins             Bins are typically collected by hotel cleaners in the course of their normal duties and decanted in loose form
  •   cardboard        into larger bins or bags connected to cleaners’ trolleys. The commingled recycling material is then transferred
  •   semi rigid       at the end of the shift with other items. Items for recycling must not be bagged and disposed in loose form.
      plastics         Depending on the individual hotel operations, transfer may be two staged to included disposal of material into
                       120 L or 240 L bins within a cleaner’s room and subsequently transferred to the (bulk) bins in the refuse
                       rooms.
                       Commingled recycling from food and beverage outlets such as restaurants, takeaways, cafés can be captured
                       by bins up to 120L that will be placed within the kitchen or back-of-house area to meet the design or layout
                       criteria of the café or restaurant operators.
                       Container deposit / refund schemes are currently in place in Queensland. Various models exist including bottle
                       return facilities and (automated) reverse vending machines.
                       Occupants should be encouraged to separate containers that qualify for the schemes from the waste or
                       recycling streams, and send back to a return points. Storage space or dedicated bins within the units or refuse
                       rooms can be provided. For the proposed developments, consideration should be given to placement of a
                       reverse vending machine on site for disposal.
 Cardboard             Cardboard and plastics can be disposed separately from commingled recycling if large quantities are
                       produced. In this case, cardboard and plastics must not be mixed. They must be stored individually (and baled
                       individually if applicable).
                       Disposal
                       Where possible, large cardboard boxes and plastic film or packaging should be removed from the refuse
                       stream prior to going into the building or individual tenancies. This involves decanting at the loading dock and
                       providing trolleys or stackable containers for use in transporting the decanted goods to each level.
                       Where this material does make it into the building or to each a level, a bin, trolley or mobile container should
                       be placed for disposal. Cardboard, plastic film and packaging should not be placed on floors in refuse rooms or
                       compartments. Additional areas have to be allocated for paper and cardboard storage if required.
                       Transfer
                       When already placed in a bin or trolley, this material is easily transferred to the refuse rooms and decanted
                       into the appropriate bin or baling equipment. For operational efficiency, consideration can be given to placing
                       fixed bins within the building or on each level, and staff / cleaners circulating with a mobile bin or trolley to
                       each level decant the fixed bins before returning to the refuse room to dispose of the material into (bulk) bins.
