Review of fees for various bin sizes for general waste and recyclable waste which areapplicable to services provided to properties in excess of policy and to all non rateableand rate exempt properties. These fees have been adjusted for contractor collectionprice increases and to accommodate for the increase in disposal costs levied by MindarieRegional Council. The confidential report attachment provides details to support theincreases.2. Setting of a fee for provision of the green waste collection. This service is available to allproperties on request. When commenced in November 2011, a total of 1,900 bins werein service. Following the extensive waste campaign activities, the service is expected tobe provided to at least 3,642 properties by 1 July 2012.The confidential report attachment provides details to support the recommended fees.In the 2011/12 fee review, a differential or fee multiple was applied at 2:1 based uponwhether the property had a 240 litre or 120 litre general waste bin (red lid). Council maywish to reconsider this concept as only 427 (11.8%) of these bins now belong toproperties with 240 litre general waste bins. Administratively, it will be easier to manage ifthe fee is the same and is supported as the fee variation for properties having the 120H:\CEO\GOV\COUNCIL MINUTES\12 MINUTES\JUNE 2012\C CR.DOCX 85

This variance may also encourage greaterparticipation.3. Setting level of the "Waste Disposal Fee"The confidential report attachment provides details to support the recommended fees.The major cost increase has been as a result of the increase of 13.8% in disposal feeslevied by Mindarie Regional Council. These MRC fees have increased by $17 per tonnefrom $123 to $140 per tonne. Of the $17 per tonne, $7.50 per tonne is a new componentcovering Carbon Tax obligations. It is noted the State Government Land Fell Levy hasnot increased from $28 per tonne.The impact of the green waste collection over part of 2011/12 has now been applied tothe whole budget year for 2012/13. The green waste service is forecast to collect around1,451 tonnes of green waste and around 1,200 tonnes less general waste is expected tobe collected. This has had an impact on the fees.The report attachment also provides detail in relation to the application of a differential orfee multiple which has been applied over previous years at a 5:1 ratio for the 240 and 120litre general waste bins.Also included in the attachment for consideration, is a schedule which incorporates costsassociated with green waste collection and general waste into a single fee based uponthe size of the general waste bin used by property occupiers. This schedule includes fourseparate fee multiple options.POLICY/STATUTORY IMPLICATIONS:Waste management issues are relevant to Policies 5.3.1, 5.3.2 and 5.3.3. These policies werereviewed in February 2012FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:The proposed fees ensure Council recovers the actual cost of providing the waste collectionservice in accordance with Policies 5.3.1, 5.3.2 and 5.3.3.The Council currently provides and charges for additional waste collection services above policyallocations.• 240 litre Domestic collection (Side lift)• 240 litre Commercial collection (Rear lift)• 240 and 360 litre Recyclable CollectionsThese fees also apply to all rate exempt and non-rateable assessments.GST is payable on bins in excess of policy allocations and exempt when bins are part of astandard Council service.H:\CEO\GOV\COUNCIL MINUTES\12 MINUTES\JUNE 2012\C CR.DOCX 86
