3.4 Implementing the BPEO
Taking forward the implementation of the BPEO will require
an ongoing partnership approach between the North East local authorities
and stakeholders to achieve the targets set out above. The North East
AWP also seeks to achieve best value from the existing infrastructure
and investment that is already in place.
Table 3.8 - Indicative Infrastructure Required to Implement
BPEO
| Requirements |
Capacity (1) |
Timescale |
Notes |
| Expansion of mini recycling centres |
Dependant on coverage of kerbside segregated
collections. |
Phased from 2003 to 2020 Increase the
number of bring-to sites receiving dry recyclables by 2005 to 1
in 2000 households in Aberdeen City. Dry recyclate communal street
bins will also act as a bring to facility in Aberdeen City by 2005.
Aberdeenshire Council:1 in 50 Rural Households
Moray: 1 in 750 by 2005.
|
Draw up strategy and identify sites.
Start expansion 2003 onwards. |
| Introduction of kerbside recycling for
dry recyclates |
54,000 tonnes 2006
94,000 tonnes 2010
113,000 tonnes 2013
123,000 tonnes 2020.
|
Introduce kerbside collection schemes
with segregation of dry recyclables and residuals to 86% of households
by 2010. Segregated collection to improve over time from 15-17%
in 2003 to 18-20% in 2010 and 23-25% in 2020 for recyclables. 5%
in 2004 to 10% in 2010 for organic waste (assumed to be mainly green
waste)
|
100% separate collections required if
incineration is to be used. |
| Clean Materials Recycling Facility (MRF) |
33,000 tonnes 2007
38,000 tonnes 2013
43,000 tonnes 2020
(proposed)
|
Dependent on obtaining planning consent |
Required to handle recylates generated
from 100% kerbside collection within Aberdeen City |
| Composting facilities |
Compost capacity increased to 102,000
tonnes in 2003, 152,000 in 2005 and 182,00 in 2015. |
Green waste for on-farm composting Moycroft,
Elgin Moray. Modular elsewhere phased from 2003 onwards |
Will use in-vessel systems |
| Energy from Waste facility (EfW) |
Maximum 110,000 tonnes MSW capacity |
Operational by 2010 |
Input material from 100% source segregated
collections |
(1) Capacity required will be dependant on several
variables including waste composition, waste growth, participation in
recycling schemes, and success of waste prevention schemes. Capacities
are only for MSW, these capacities will increase if other wastes are
managed at these facilities. Facilities, which accept wastes other than
MSW, will require larger capacity.
