360 Savings Calculator

The average household waste bin is reported to contain over 20% recyclable materials along with around 50% organic material. A lack of source separation by the household leads to leakage of recyclables into the residual waste stream. Leakage can be caused by apathy, lack of understanding or a lack of capacity in the recycling bin.

Improvements in the capture and diversion of recyclables is best achieved through a combination of adopting best practise models, targeted education campaigns and providing the right bin capacity. Residents with the right capacity can minimise leakage of recyclables into the waste stream and results in a direct saving on disposal fees.

By providing residents with the right capacity to recycle, significant savings in council disposal fees can be made. According to the Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water NSW, dry recyclables make up 23%# of the residual waste bin.
