- Assess and benchmark the cost and performance of the Council's current kerbside waste collection service.
- Consider options for improving the performance and efficiency of these services.
- Assess and evaluate the options for the delivery of these services (in house, contract, JV, etc)
- Assess the options to secure fleet that will be used for waste collection services.
- Consider the options, benefits and risks for 'off-take' contracts for the materials that are collected for recycling or composting at the kerbside.
- Consider how flexibility can be built into the collection services to accommodate future housing growth and future legislation changes.
- Consider how the design of the waste collection service can minimise the financial impact of the Emissions Trading Scheme, for example by targeting high carbon content wastes.
- Consider the benefits and disbenefits of the waste collection and cleansing services being delivered jointly or under separate arrangements.
- Consider the opportunities for the collection of commercial waste and any associated risks.
