2.5.         RCV Arrangements and Bin Servicing Areas
All refuse will be collected by Council’s appointed collections contractor. Rear loading RCV’s will collect all
residential refuse. Commercial refuse may be collected by either rear loading or side loading RCV.
Kerbside servicing has been proposed where the RCV does not enter the site for servicing. The RCV will stop
on the kerbside in the designated loading bay adjoining the driveway. The contractor will collect all refuse
directly from the refuse storage area. Once the bins have been serviced, the contractor will return the bins
to the refuse storage area where building management / cleaners will clean the bins as required for everyday
use.
The type of vehicles allocated, and demand will be subject to constructed design and risk assessment of the
site by the collecting contractor.
The bin servicing area / loading bay has been designed with the following features:

 Has sufficient access and clearance for the waste and recycling collection vehicles to service the bins, including no overhead
 obstructions.

 Allows bins to be serviced safely while minimising the impediment to vehicle movements during servicing.

 Is clearly separated from car parking bays, footpaths and pedestrian access.

 Is devoid of stairs, or lips and allows bins to be manoeuvred easily.

 Does not block the entry and exit to the property.

 Is not adjacent to a kitchen or eating area for public use.

 Is over 5m from any door, window or fresh air intake within the development or any adjoining site.

 Is positioned away from entrances to shops or residential premises.
