advantages:
→ Would potentially, subject to detailed assessment, be able to

efficiencies of collecting 25 cu/yd bins particularly when collecting 2
bins at a time with a drag trailer.
→ The revenue from the heaver material banks such as the card
and paper mix would subsidise the lighter plastic and can banks.
Although these lighter materials are very high value, this does not
compensate for the low weights, however, the card/paper bins
should cross subsidise these bins, potentially providing collection
and recycling service without charge for all the materials.

b) Mobile “bring” collection points for recyclable business waste; → Cans and plastics are perhaps the least attractive for commercial

e) Other suggestions. Customers will only be incentivised to pay for a separate collection
of food waste, and an additional container when the landfill tax
escalator makes conventional options less affordable and treatment
infrastructure is developed to cater for this need.
→ The issue here revolves around Duty of Care, how can Focsa identify
the producer and make them responsible for the waste delivered. Is
it assumed to pass to the company collecting the recyclable
materials and deriving the income? The quantities of material
diverted and resold would have to finance the service otherwise
who would pay. Focsa would also need to understand the EA’s view
and the respective Council’s view with regards to keeping the sites
clean?
→ This is perhaps easier to manage as permits can be sold to
businesses to allow a specified number of visits/waste types to be
delivered to the site. Duty of Care notes can be produced as permits
are sold.
Question Answer
→ The Central Lakes area is a remote point in the county, with limited
infrastructure nearby that can be affordably accessed. Focsa have
not undertaken a feasibility study but they have seen small scale
facilities operating in similarly remote/rural situations and it is
possible that a similar facility could be sustainable in this area.
However it would need to more food/canteen waste all year round
than is contributed by tourist trade.
