Regional Contracts
Through NetWaste, a number of regional contracts have been established with member Councils, which allows remote areas of the NetWaste region to access services previously not offered due to economic or geographic constraints.
The following regional contracts are currently in place, with these established through an open tender process as necessary:
Processing of Garden Organics and Wood and Timber Contract
Seventeen (17) NetWaste Councils are part of this contract which serves to chip garden organics into a mulch product for Councils. The mulch product can then be used by Councils and the community alike for mulching of gardens and parks.
Regional Domestic Waste and Recycling Contract
This contract involves Blayney Shire, Cabonne, Parkes Shire, Forbes Shire and Orange City Councils and is serviced by JR Richards and Sons. This contract has seen significant financial and environmental benefits, with a Material Recovery Facility (MRF) being constructed at the Orange Resource Recovery Centre to process the recyclables collected in each of these Council areas. During 2007/08 alone, over 7,000 tonnes of material was diverted from landfill and recycled.
Collection of Scrap Metal
Scrap metal is a prominent waste type received by Councils to their landfills and waste transfer stations, which has significant reuse and recycling opportunities. Twenty five (25) of the NetWaste Councils are part of a regional contract which sees a regular collection service for this material while receiving a price for the commodity. This contract in particular has been effective and beneficial for the more isolated Councils who can be negatively impacted by their geographic locations.
