Executive Summary

null

THE PROBLEM:

  • The increasing prevalence of waste chutes in apartment buildings is creating a burden of time, cost, and disruption of service to Owners Corporations within the ACT.
  • Owners Corporations are undertaking major infrastructure upgrades at considerable cost to counter the ongoing problems associated with managing resident behaviour associated with waste chutes.
  • Environmental benefits, such as achieving high levels of recycling outcomes, are being hampered within buildings that rely on waste chutes.

THE SOLUTION:

  • Government and industry must work together to optimise waste management outcomes at a planning level.
  • More flexible waste management solutions, including a return to more traditional solutions with some enhancements.
