Factsheet: Household food waste and bio-waste regulations 2015

Household Food Waste regulations are introduced to require separate collection of such material, supporting its diversion from landfill to more productive uses. Separate collection of organics will be a required waste permit condition for those collecting from households within population centres of a given size and will be introduced on a phased basis over a 4 year period (starting in 2013), beginning with larger population centres.
