Draft Bin Inspection and Contamination Policy

We have developed a draft Bin Inspection and Contamination Policy to help us manage contamination of waste bins.

It covers properties that receives a kerbside waste collection service, including those where Council or its Contractors enter private property to collect waste. The Draft Policy also covers all waste streams:

• residual waste
• commingled recycling
• organics

The Draft Policy:

• Provides a consistent approach to the management of bin contamination
• Clarifies for staff and residents what actions Council can take in the event of bin contamination
• Clearly states how we will work with residents to minimise contamination
• Provides an opportunity for residents to pro-actively reduce the contamination level
• Provides information and data to inform future education campaigns
