  1. PORT LINCOLNLandfill => Transfer Station Geoff R Dodd Director of Operations

  2. History • Site opened December 1991. • Kerb side recycling commenced December 1992. • Transfer station and recycling bays constructed 1996. Baler installed 1998. • Two completed cells, one operating and one currently under construction. • Room for two more cells but native Veg issues. • Operation of site contracted out in 2003.

  3. Site Operation – Theory

  4. Site Operation - Actual • Customers served at the baling shed • Maximises to use of staff, ie baling in between serving customers • Focus is on commercial recycling and education on separation of loads prior to arrival at site • Installation of weigh bridge added complexity in part time manning of site office • Recycling bays not used, too small & incorrect location

  5. Recycling - Household • Not sufficient quantity to have separate containers for different types. • Mixed in with kerbside material & transported to Adelaide.

  6. Recycling - Plastics

  7. General Recycling - Cardboard • Cardboard kept separate where possible. • Commercial cardboard operators also deliver here. • Most is re-baled prior to transport to Adelaide.

  8. Baled Recycling Material

  9. Recycling - Steel • Steel placed on station • Pushed into truck & taken to stockpile • Complete loads taken direct to stockpile • Baled every 6 months • 200 ton/year

  10. Recycling Steel - Stockpile

  11. Industry Recycling – Rope/net • Fishing industry encouraged to bring in rope/net in separate loads • Sent direct to stockpile site • Transported to Adelaide when sufficient qty in stockpile

  12. Industry Recycling - Timber • Construction timber/pallets kept separate. • Sent direct to separate stockpile. • Mulched once/twice per year. • Mulch sold to public & used on council gardens.

  13. Industry Recycling – One Offs

  14. Plastic Oil Containers

  15. Lessons Learned • Layout not perfect • Separation of kerbside recycleables not efficient, the process transferred for material dropped off • Concentrate efforts on industrial and commercial products – bigger bang for the effort • Recycling is not commercially viable if considered alone, ie exclusive of cost to landfill
