SERVICES & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 8 AUGUST 2017
There are two Capital Works Projects approved for 2017/18:
Upgrades to the Reusable Goods Recycling and Sale Facility
A hardstand will be constructed throughout the currently unsealed rear yard of the facility.
This will include the construction of a bio-basin to treat stormwater.
A large shed will also be constructed in this area for the storage and repair of reusable
goods. It is proposed that this new large shed will also house a waste education room for
classes and workshops run by Council officers and contractors. Once this new shed is
completed the building at the Transfer Station (currently used by Briteside for storing
reusable goods) can be vacated. That building will then be used by Cleanaway for the
bailing and temporary storage of recycled material as new markets and options are sought.

The garden waste recycling bin services continue to grow voluntarily ahead of the introduction of
a three bin service for the urban areas of the Shire in September.
360 litre wheelie bins
The larger 360 litre wheelie bins will be made available from 1 September 2017. This will allow
the community to recycle larger volumes of recyclables and/or green waste in their fortnightly
collection. To date 322 larger garden waste recycling bins and 41 larger recycling bins have
been requested and demand continues to grow.

The last financial year again saw a significant increase in customers using the Eumundi Road
Resource Recovery Facility. This is reflected in an increase in waste revenue from gate fees
over this period.
