Return and Earn NSW recycling success story - Container Deposit Scheme (CDS).
Last September I was pleased to be part of the Victorian Waste Management Association (VWMA) Delegation to NSW to fact find the NSW Container Deposit Scheme (CDS) Return and Earn.
At that time my Key Learnings were:
• No Cost to Government, State or Local.
• A CDS will remove a waste stream from our collection, giving a cost reduction.
• Increase employment across the State.
• Great opportunities for the creation of social enterprises.
• Return and Earn has been very successful to date.
• After first year, price increases due to the CDS reflect a workable competitive market.
• State of the art technology across the whole process.
• Biggest hurdle in Victoria will be the State Government to introduce the CDS legislation and the contractual agreements. - 'WAS'.
