Why did GEMG fund this Study?
Goldfields Waste Data & Priorities Study
Project funded by GEMG and supported by these organisations:
Desired Outcomes
• Consolidated data from a wide range of stakeholders across the Region
• Greater understanding of waste streams in the Region
• Identify key strategic priorities• Assist in future planning and investment on
waste management systems and infrastructure
Objectives and Progress to date
The Goldfields Waste Data & Priorities Study
• The Study focuses on:• Current Practices – tonnages and treatment
• Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) • Commercial and Industrial (C&I)• Construction and Demolition (C&D)
• Future generation trends• Regional priorities (waste streams,
infrastructure, markets)• Consultation with industry across the Region• Collection and reporting of waste data utilising
Waste Classification System
Where is the Study Area?
• Focus is on Eastern Goldfields
• But open to wider Goldfields Region more participants = more data = better outcomes for the Region
• Data may be summarised by sub-catchment areas
Success Story – Pilbara Waste Data Study
• Completed in 2013
• Funded by the Waste Authority & Pilbara Development Commission
• Basis for future strategic management of waste
• Industry now have access to accurate information
• Guided investment in waste infrastructure
Study Objectives
Improvement of waste management systems across the Region.
Collect and publish data to:
• Support policy development
• Assist waste infrastructure planning
• Guide investment
Work to date
Consultation Strategy• Devised and implemented for the project
• Key stakeholders defined
• Engagement activities determined
• Data collection techniques and documentation
Key stakeholders
Wide and varied for greater coverage:

Workshop objective is to gain support and promote participation in the Study to Region’s stakeholders.
Also sets outs:
• What waste data is sought from stakeholders
• The means of data capture – DCS / WCS
• The process for completing the Study
Data Collection and Consultation
Existing Waste Data
• Local Government Authorities’ Census Data (2013-2014) for Municipal Solid Waste (MSW)
• No data for Commercial and Industrial (C&I) or Construction and Demolition (C&D)
• Limited information on total waste
Study aims to bridge the data gap….
Waste Classification System
• Developed from Pilbara Waste Data Study• Provides framework for reporting waste data• User-friendly• ‘Cradle to grave’ coverage
Waste Classification System Objectives
1. Allow mapping of waste management streams
2. Achieve consistency – Controlled Waste
3. Prioritise identification of waste by source and composition
4. Identify the sector of the economy from which the waste is generated
5. Cover ‘cradle to grave’
6. Maintain relevance to whole of Western Australia
7. System is user-friendly
8. Minimise potential for double counting
Waste Classification System
• DER updated Controlled Waste Category list in 2014
• Additional Materials included • Re-categorised• Waste Classification System
based on latest categories
Waste Classification System
Three key parts1.Waste
Streams 2.Sectors
of Economy
3.Waste Types
Waste Classification System
Waste Streams – MSW (Code – A)Residential waste typically managed by local governments including:• Kerbside or vergeside collections, or dropped off
waste;• Waste from public places including from road verges,
reserves, beaches, litter bins, events and street cleaning; and
• Incidental commercial waste collected via residential kerbside collections
Waste Classification System
Waste Streams – C&I (Code – B)Waste:• generated from, or as the direct result of,
commercial and industrial operations, and • that is not MSW or C&D waste.
Waste Classification System
Waste Streams – C&D (Code – C)
• Materials generated as a result of construction, refurbishment or demolition activities
Waste Classification System
Sectors of the Economy• 13 Sectors of the
economy in which waste generated
• Codes 01 -13
Waste Classification System
Waste Types
• Reflects composition of the waste.
• Waste Types given a Waste Type Code within Range 100 – 899
• Split into 8 groups for ease of access
Material Group
Controlled Wastes
Other Hazardous
Local Government Services
Biodegradables
Packaging
Inert
Liquid/Solids (not Controlled Waste
Wastes not otherwise specified
Waste Classification System – Waste Types
Waste Classification Codes (WCC)
Example: Used Tyres• Waste Stream Code: B – C&I;• Sector Code: 02 – Mining; and• Waste Type Code: 192 –
Controlled Waste Miscellaneous – Used Tyres
WCC is B.02.192

Waste Classification Codes (WCC)
Example: Kerbside commingled recyclables • Waste Stream Code: A – MSW;• Sector Code: 01 – Domestic; and• Waste Type Code: 301 – Kerbside
commingled recyclables
WCC is A.01.301

Data Collection Sheets – Structure
• Key tool for collection of data• Successfully used in previous waste data
studies• Three types of sector-specific Data
Collection Sheets:• Local Government• Industry / Resource• Waste Service Providers
Data Collection Sheets – Structure
• Explanatory notes• Respondent Details • Waste Register
o Sourceo Quantityo Processing or Disposalo Transfer facilities
• Waste Facility - Outputs• Priorities
Explanatory notes
• Provides instructions and an overview of each tab of the DCS
• Assists the user in completing the sheet
Respondent Details
• Contact person, location and operational details
• Point of contact in the event of data accuracy concerns/queries
• Information on each facilities (owned/operated)
• Population / Future Growth
Population*
*Specific to LGA DCS’s
• Require last year’s, this year’s, and future population (5 and 20 years) total and by township
• Data will allow for future waste data projections to 2035
Future Growth*
*Specific to Industry/Resource companies DCS’s
• Require data on both workforce and production output to 2035
• Data will allow for future waste data projections to 2035
Waste Register
• Records the source, quantity, collection method and treatment and/or disposal method for each waste stream generated by the stakeholder.
Waste Register - Source
• The source covers the Stream, Sector and Material Type.
• The red, blue and green columns of this segment are coloured in reference to the Waste Classification System (WCS) previously described
• The full WCS has been included in the DCS for reference
Waste Register - Quantity
• Requests data on the annual quantities generated (in tonnes) and how it was calculated
• WMFs are regarded as distinct from waste generators
• Record the quantity of waste accepted as an Input
• If WMF produces a waste residue or develops a useable product in treating the waste, then recorded as an output.
• Designed to avoid double counting in the data
Data Collection Sheets – Data gaps
• Waste data varies in relation to quality• Within the DCS the method of measurement
includes Estimation.• Best to use volumetrics for estimations – m3
• Void space consumed or size of trucks• Please specify estimation used• Talis to sense check and seek clarification if
needed.
Waste Register – Collection
• How the waste was collected e.g. kerbside, skipbins
• The frequency of collections e.g. weekly, monthly• Who was the carrier/collected the waste (if third
party used)
Waste Register – Processing / Disposal
• Where the waste is treated or disposed of
• How the waste is handled and processed e.g. landfill, recycled
• Whether this is on-site or offsite at a processing facility
• Allow for capturing ‘cradle to grave’ movements of the waste
Waste Register – Transfer Facility
• Details of transfer facilities used for waste (if relevant)
• Processes undertaken e.g. compaction, bailing
• Means to include multiple transfer facilities
Waste Facility Outputs
• Lists outputs (products and residues) by facility and material type and quantity
• Outputs by process type, details of disposal or sale and means of removal e.g. mulching, materials recovery facilities
• Frequency of transport off-site
Priorities
Invites stakeholders to highlight their priorities:• Problematic waste streams• Peak waste streams• Waste infrastructure gaps and opportunities• Markets gaps and opportunities
Section is non-prescriptive – seeking your views
