Procedural Motion – Introduce Addendum and Bring Item Forward |
RESOLVED (Clr Findley / Clr Gash) MIN17.972 That the following Addendum Report and Item be brought forward and dealt with at the conclusion of SA17.272 – Question on Notice – Container Deposit Scheme: 1.

SA17.296 - CL17.225 - Collingwood Beach Dune Vegetation Management - Deferred from August Ordinary - Ministers Response

1. Has Council applied to be a collection point operator for the NSW govt Container Deposit Scheme? 2. Does Council have any role in the scheme? 3. Is Council aware of any collection points planned in the Shoalhaven? Data demonstrates 2 things about waste and plastic litter in low socio-economic areas. Litter and plastic waste are more prevalent in low socio-economic communities. Container Deposit Schemes have most effect in these communities. 4. Council is able to determine where low socio-economic communities are. Is Council able to influence location of CDS banks in these communities, for maximal effectiveness of the scheme? 5. Will Council be publicising the introduction of the scheme and available collection points? 6. How can community groups participate?

1. Council has applied to use our Recycling and Waste transfer facilities as drop off points, both through the EPA in November 2016, and directly to the EPA appointed Network operator, TOMRA-Cleanaway, in August 2017. 2. Council has no role in the scheme. It was drafted by the state government (EPA) and the EPA have appointed a Scheme Coordinator, Exchange for Change, and a Network Operator to implement the scheme. 3. To date Council has not been advised of any local collection points, except that TOMRA-Cleanaway indicated that they are tying up various Woolworths and Aldi Supermarkets around NSW to locate drop off collection points. The most recent returnandearn website change reads “Collection Points are beginning to roll out, and already there are reverse vending machines in locations from Granville to Glenorie, and others such as Tumut, Lisarow, Medowie and Vincentia. We will provide details of collection points as they continue to roll out.” Interesting to see Vincentia in the list. 4. With the total lack of response from the Network Operator, Council is unable to influence the location of drop off points. However, once the scheme has commenced and the frenzy of getting the whole thing up and running in less than 4 months has passed, it may be possible to approach them with recommended locations. The final decision, however, is with the Network Operator. 5. Council intend to publicise the scheme and available collection points as soon as we have sufficient detail to be able to provide usable information to the community. 6. Any fundraising group, such as a charity, school, community or sporting group, can collect donations of eligible containers from the community that they can then redeem for the 10-cent refund at an approved collection point. As stated previously, approved collection points still need to be published by the Network Operator. |
