Collection involves the logistical organization to guarantee that bin containers will
not overfill and waste sit time does not become too long. The correct bin container
size and service frequency is a must to prevent overspill or excessive smell. The
correct bins for different wastes must be
available with sticker and bin colour
identification. Locks, chains, lids and
bars prevent public access and non-
trained personnel putting rubbish in the
incorrect bins.
Vehicles, drivers, and companies need licenses and approval in certain Council
Areas to transport waste. EPA standards need to be upheld as well as General Public
Safety. Safety standards are vital to the transportation of clinical and hazardous
wastes. Drivers must undergo training for emergency circumstances that may arise.
Processing involves the separation of recyclables for treatment, and then after
treatment are packaged as raw materials. These raw materials are sent to factories
for production. Non-recyclable wastes by-pass this step and are delivered straight to
landfill. Liquid and hazardous wastes are delivered to treatment plants to become
less hazardous to the public and environment.
In this step the raw materials made from recyclables are produced and sold as
products on the market. Companies can purchase such products to further sustain
the environment and natural resources.
