The Northern Adelaide Waste Management Authority has entered a new
era of total waste management from the kerbside to recycling, baling and
environmentally responsible disposal on behalf of its member Councils - the
Town of Gawler and the Cities of Playford and Salisbury - and other rural
Councils in the region.
In the past year, NAWMA has expanded its Elizabeth West site and
commissioned world’s leading edge waste baling equipment and procedures.
Apart from new buildings and infrastructure at Elizabeth West, NAWMA has
also opened a new, environmentally engineered landfi ll at Uleybury.
This culminates many years of strategic planning and hard work by the
NAWMA Board, management and staff with the support and professionalism
of contractors and other suppliers of essential products and services.
NAWMA is now in a position where it can control waste disposal costs for
member Councils and provide security for future land-fi lling requirements
following the closure of the Adelaide City Council’s Wingfi eld landfi ll in
December 2004.
This is particularly important in view of the signifi cant growth in residential,
industrial and commercial development in the northern region.
NAWMA continues to work closely with Local Government, industry
and residents to provide leading edge practices in waste management and
recycling, including strategies to reduce landfi ll.
In the past decade, the amount of waste NAWMA has diverted from landfi ll
has increased from 10 per cent to almost 40 per cent.
We are working together with our communities to manage waste in the
most responsible manner, to separate and process recyclable material, and
to ensure future residents in the region inherit a healthy and life-sustaining
environment.

Mr Brian King Manager
forewordWaste Baling Technology
On 11 May 2005, the European-designed and engineered FAES-PAAL baling plant began operating in a newly-developed, fi t-for-purpose facility at Elizabeth West.
The Model HTR240 plant is capable of producing rectangular bales weighing up to 1,500 kg with densities reaching 1,000 kg per cubic metre at throughputs of 47 tonnes per hour.
The waste, compacted into 1.2 cubic metre strapped bales, contains only those components of the waste stream that cannot be effectively recovered.
The plant will cater for up to 100,000 tonnes of non-recyclable domestic and residual commercial and industrial waste each year.
A great deal of work was dedicated to ensuring best practice protocols were implemented for baling, transport of bales to Uleybury and landfi ll operation. The total operation has been bedded down after comprehensive training programs and introduction of clearly defi ned employee and contractor work practices and responsibilities.
Excellent working relationships and communications exist between NAWMA and its contractors resulting in smooth and effi cient operations, direct and tangible cost savings and sound environmental practices.
Bale Transport
The dense bales are perfect for transporting and stacking at the new Uleybury landfi ll site. Allsons Transport are carting up to 12 semi-trailer loads per day of compacted bales from Elizabeth West to Uleybury in fully enclosed, purpose-built vehicles.
Wingliner technology (solid side lift operation) saves time loading and unloading the semi-trailers, each of which has a payload of 26 tonnes or about 18 waste bales.
Uleybury Landfi ll
The Uleybury landfi ll features an engineered clay and synthetic composite liner system for groundwater protection and compliance with Environment Protection Authority requirements. The most advanced monitoring and control measures have also been implemented to protect the surrounding environment.
Landfi lling has commenced in the fi rst cell of stage one. Bales will be placed in the landfi ll in stages and progressively fi lled. Based on receiving 100,000 tonnes of baled waste per annum, the landfi ll will have an operational life of 16 years.
NAWMA Offi ces
Refurbishment of the Elizabeth West complex has created two new offi ces and additional work and storage space. This was necessary to cater for additional staff requirements associated with the new operations.
Two new computers and software packages have been installed to monitor the weighbridges at Elizabeth West and the Uleybury Landfi ll. Both weighbridges are linked back to the main offi ce enabling accurate vehicle information and weights data to be maintained for statistical reporting, invoicing and EPA Waste Levy requirements.
Stage Three Development
The availability of a hectare parcel of land next to the Elizabeth West site has presented a unique opportunity for the Boards of NAWMA and Jeffries, and the Council of Anglicare SA.
NAWMA has identifi ed the site as being suitable for a facility to enhance the recovery and re-use of resources that may previously have been disposed to landfi ll. This will be the stage three development. It is in line with NAWMA’s Regional Waste Management Strategy, which identifi es as a high priority the requirements to:
• establish a resources exchange in the area; and • maximise the collection and processing of recyclable green organic materials along with the sale of fi nished products.
NAWMA has been successful in securing funding of $101,180 from the Federal Government Sustainable Regions Program. The State Government will be requested to match this funding to assist in the cost of site development works and provision of plant equipment.
Subject to the successful sourcing of additional funds and gaining of approvals from member Councils, the operation is planned to commence in late 2005.
Material Recovery Facility (MRF)
A steady income is being achieved from the sale of paper and cardboard product on the overseas market. Product quality has improved considerably with the recent installation of paper screening plates and bounce conveyor systems. This required investment of $300,000.
The management of material not suitable for recycling processes is now more cost effi cient due to the integration of the new waste baling plant and MRF.
In the reporting period, 18,053 tonnes of recyclables were received from NAWMA member Councils at the Elizabeth West MRF. An additional 12,051 tonnes were received from external Councils, including the rural Councils of Mallala, Clare/Gilbert Valley and Light Regional.
Education and Promotion
NAWMA is committed to education and community awareness programs to help people make informed decisions about waste disposal, and to contribute to a better understanding of the need to reduce the amount of material going to landfi ll.
The dedicated Environmental Education Centre at NAWMA’s Elizabeth West site continues to attract school visitors and a wide variety of community groups, as well as industry and Government organisations.
A total of 745 school-age students, 40 Japanese students and 216 adults from community groups were welcomed to the centre during the reporting period.
The centre features a large-scale viewing window for visitors to view trucks depositing kerbside collected recyclable materials such as paper, cardboard, clean glass jars and bottles, food cans, milk and juice cartons, plastic containers and aluminium cans.
Visitors can watch the recyclable material being sorted and packaged for conversion into a wide range of useful, environmentally-friendly products.
The centre also features a vast story wall, worm farms, and recycled products, including furniture and carpet made from recycled plastic.
NAWMA visited 13 local schools and presented educational information to 2,058 students. Seventy four schools in the region are registered for recycling collection with a total of 560 bins allocated to schools. This service is provided at no charge with a maximum of 10 bins per school.
A public viewing platform constructed at an observation point above the Uleybury landfi ll is proving to be successful in allowing visitors to view the operation and gain an appreciation of the technology involved. The facility is open during the week from 10 am to 3 pm.
To assist residents in putting the right material in the right bin, NAWMA has been the fi rst Local Government body in Adelaide to have instructions hot stamped onto the lids of the recycling and rubbish bins. This system will be used for all new bins issued, and when bin lids are replaced.
Resident Contact
A 1800 free-call number is promoted for residents to enquire about services, particularly garden waste collection and bin purchase, environmental and educational matters. Residents accessed the service 24,184 times during the past year.

A total of 1,921 calls were received during the reporting period. This equates to 7.4 calls per day.
NAWMA’s collection contractors collectively empty over 30,580 bins each day and the Board considers the level of complaints to be acceptable.
Garden Waste Collection Service
As at the 30 June 2005, 26,658 households, representing 31.45 per cent of the collection catchment, had registered for participation in the Garden Waste Collection Service. In the reporting period, 1,834 bins to the value of $91,700 were sold to residents for use in the service.
NAWMA is keen to increase the participation level to at least 40 per cent and the Board has authorised a promotional campaign to be devised and implemented. The campaign will concentrate primarily on Playford Council residents. Shopping centre displays have been mounted and the garden waste brochure will be enclosed with rate notices. A cinema advertising program is also being organised.

Refurbishment of the Elizabeth West complex has created two new offi ces and additional work and storage space. This was necessary to cater for additional staff requirements associated with the new operations.
Two new computers and software packages have been installed to monitor the weighbridges at Elizabeth West and the Uleybury Landfi ll. Both weighbridges are linked back to the main offi ce enabling accurate vehicle information and weights data to be maintained for statistical reporting, invoicing and EPA Waste Levy requirements.
Stage Three Development
The availability of a hectare parcel of land next to the Elizabeth West site has presented a unique opportunity for the Boards of NAWMA and Jeffries, and the Council of Anglicare SA.
NAWMA has identifi ed the site as being suitable for a facility to enhance the recovery and re-use of resources that may previously have been disposed to landfi ll. This will be the stage three development. It is in line with NAWMA’s Regional Waste Management Strategy, which identifi es as a high priority the requirements to:
• establish a resources exchange in the area; and • maximise the collection and processing of recyclable green organic materials along with the sale of fi nished products.
NAWMA has been successful in securing funding of $101,180 from the Federal Government Sustainable Regions Program. The State Government will be requested to match this funding to assist in the cost of site development works and provision of plant equipment.
Subject to the successful sourcing of additional funds and gaining of approvals from member Councils, the operation is planned to commence in late 2005.
Material Recovery Facility (MRF)
A steady income is being achieved from the sale of paper and cardboard product on the overseas market. Product quality has improved considerably with the recent installation of paper screening plates and bounce conveyor systems. This required investment of $300,000.
The management of material not suitable for recycling processes is now more cost effi cient due to the integration of the new waste baling plant and MRF.
In the reporting period, 18,053 tonnes of recyclables were received from NAWMA member Councils at the Elizabeth West MRF. An additional 12,051 tonnes were received from external Councils, including the rural Councils of Mallala, Clare/Gilbert Valley and Light Regional.
Education and Promotion
NAWMA is committed to education and community awareness programs to help people make informed decisions about waste disposal, and to contribute to a better understanding of the need to reduce the amount of material going to landfi ll.
The dedicated Environmental Education Centre at NAWMA’s Elizabeth West site continues to attract school visitors and a wide variety of community groups, as well as industry and Government organisations.
A total of 745 school-age students, 40 Japanese students and 216 adults from community groups were welcomed to the centre during the reporting period.
The centre features a large-scale viewing window for visitors to view trucks depositing kerbside collected recyclable materials such as paper, cardboard, clean glass jars and bottles, food cans, milk and juice cartons, plastic containers and aluminium cans.
Visitors can watch the recyclable material being sorted and packaged for conversion into a wide range of useful, environmentally-friendly products.
The centre also features a vast story wall, worm farms, and recycled products, including furniture and carpet made from recycled plastic.
NAWMA visited 13 local schools and presented educational information to 2,058 students. Seventy four schools in the region are registered for recycling collection with a total of 560 bins allocated to schools. This service is provided at no charge with a maximum of 10 bins per school.
A public viewing platform constructed at an observation point above the Uleybury landfi ll is proving to be successful in allowing visitors to view the operation and gain an appreciation of the technology involved. The facility is open during the week from 10 am to 3 pm.
To assist residents in putting the right material in the right bin, NAWMA has been the fi rst Local Government body in Adelaide to have instructions hot stamped onto the lids of the recycling and rubbish bins. This system will be used for all new bins issued, and when bin lids are replaced.
Resident Contact
A 1800 free-call number is promoted for residents to enquire about services, particularly garden waste collection and bin purchase, environmental and educational matters. Residents accessed the service 24,184 times during the past year.

A total of 1,921 calls were received during the reporting period. This equates to 7.4 calls per day.
NAWMA’s collection contractors collectively empty over 30,580 bins each day and the Board considers the level of complaints to be acceptable.
Garden Waste Collection Service
As at the 30 June 2005, 26,658 households, representing 31.45 per cent of the collection catchment, had registered for participation in the Garden Waste Collection Service. In the reporting period, 1,834 bins to the value of $91,700 were sold to residents for use in the service.
NAWMA is keen to increase the participation level to at least 40 per cent and the Board has authorised a promotional campaign to be devised and implemented. The campaign will concentrate primarily on Playford Council residents. Shopping centre displays have been mounted and the garden waste brochure will be enclosed with rate notices. A cinema advertising program is also being organised.
