EC Sustainable has recently assisted a beach side Sydney Council to
manage and monitor the installation of public place recycling systems.
A pre and post installation period of auditing was conducted. The system
was identified to be functioning effectively and are recovering a significant
amount of resources that would otherwise be disposed in landfill. The stations
were particularly effective at recovering glass, metals and plastics. Approximately
50% of the material is now being recovered with further recommendations and work
possible to further increase the recovery rate.

The project also included litter audits of the type, location and brand of litter based
on various strategies over a two year period. The project allows litter reduction strategies
to be developed to target the key locations, litter types and source generators identified.
