The System: Source Separated Collection

	The first element is a 3-bin residential kerbside collection service for organics (50% of the domestic waste stream are made up of green and food waste), recyclables (20%) and residual refuse (approx. 30%).
	The second element of the Source Separated Collection System are the integrated resource recovery facilities, such as a MRF for paper, co-mingled recyclables and resource recovery facilities for organic resources and residual waste.
	The third element is the NO METHANE landfill, which generates lower operating and substantially reduced post closure costs by eliminating the disposal of organic waste.
	The life of the NO METHANE inert landfill can be extended by up to 400%.
	Assuming a waste generation of approx. 40,000 t/a, the disposal cost saving* of $30.- per tonne of domestic waste amount up to $1,200,000 per annum.
	Multiplied over a 20 year contract period, the cost benefits of $24 million are substantial.
