Solid Waste Asset Management Plan
The purpose of the Solid Waste Asset Management Plan is to ensure that solid waste assets are operated and maintained in a sustainable and cost effective manner, and that they provide the required level of service for present and future customers.
Levels of service are driven by customer expectations, compliance with statutory requirements and Council policies.
Council ensures that residual waste generated by residential properties is collected weekly on a user pays basis, provides a recycling service to residential properties and schools free of charge and receives domestic hazardous waste, refuse and separated green waste at the Pascoe Street Transfer Station.
Council manages $7.5mil of solid waste assets on behalf of the community. These assets are mainly associated with the York Valley landfill and Pascoe Street Transfer Station.
The solid waste activity is basically debt free and all activities are funded from landfill charges, transfer station charges, Ministry for the Environment Waste Levy contributions and grants.
Council has a solid waste activity management plan to ensure that waste activities, assets and services provide the required level of service to our residents.
The plan covers services such as a domestic recycling collection service, managing the Nelson Waste Recovery Centre and providing activities to support our community to reduce or avoid waste.
See the plan 2021-31 Activity Management Plans
Council also conducts regular analysis of what goes into landfill, called a SWAP study, and you can find the latest one below.
