Overview
Lessons from rejection: factors affecting the success of a food waste trial.
Elisa Holgate, Randwick City Council
Details
Randwick City Council’s Food Scraps trial in MUDs was initiated 3 years ago with the aim of identifying potential service issues and possible solutions if the service was implemented across the LGA. Service and community issues include ease of use, odour management, and resident engagement. This year the trial set additional objectives to find solutions for these issues through improving bin presentation, testing bin liners with odour supressing properties, and increasing education and engagement activities. These activities generated promising results.
