Waste Management Plan

 Glass                 Glass can be disposed separately from commingled recycling if large quantities are produced.
                       Disposal
                       Glass crushers are recommended as an alternative to placement of glass in the commingled stream. The
                       crushers reduce the storage volume of glass by more than 75%. At least one glass crusher will be placed within
                       the main refuse room with the option of a secondary glass crusher in the satellite bin store to reduce trips to
                       the main refuse room.
                       Transfer
                       Due to the weight of the crushed glass, the material should either be transferred as a single bin or the
                       individual bins can be placed on a larger trolley for transport to the refuse room. Exchange bins have been
                       included within the configurations for the refuse rooms.



3.1.2.      Infrequent Waste
Table 3.2: Disposal of Infrequently Generated Waste
 Refuse Stream             Disposal Details
 Hard Waste / Bulky        Hard waste may be stored in a designated room which should be located on the loading dock level.
 Goods                     Alternatively, collections can be coordinated, and hard waste / bulky goods moved to the loading dock or a
                           designated area for removal prior to collection. When storing bulky goods in a loading dock, it is
                           recommended that items are placed on a pallet for easy loading via a pallet jack or forklift onto the RCV.
 Hazardous Waste           Where applicable, occupants usually make their own arrangements for the disposal of specialised or
 (paints, batteries        hazardous waste and electronic waste such as recycling of toner cartridges and batteries. Please refer to
 and cartridges)           local and QLD government websites for disposal options.
 Electronic Waste          It is an expectation that the building management assist with disposal of hazardous, electronic or liquid
                           waste and any paint or chemicals as required and requested. Hazardous waste must be handled with due
                           care, separated and securely stored for collection by a specialist waste contractor. Please refer to local and
                           QLD government websites for further information.



3.2.        On-going Management
Responsibilities have to be assigned for all on-going refuse management operations. This is generally done
by a building manager, staff and / or cleaners. The following lists (Table 3.3 to Table 3.9) are designed to help
managing responsibilities and monitor the refuse operations in order to maintain efficient services and a safe
environment.
