Kitchen food scraps

Consultation has concluded.

Food scraps survey-Thank you!Thank you for completing the food scraps survey. We’ve had an overwhelming response with over 8300 completed surveys returned. This is the largest response to a Randwick City Council community survey ever. The survey showed overwhelming support from our community for kitchen waste recycling. You can download a full copy of the report from this site.

Food scraps collection service

Since November 2013, Randwick City Council has been trialling food scraps collection. Some 4,900 units participated and we have collected 60 tonnes of food waste so far.

About 40% garbage bin content is food waste and by recycling food waste, we can reduce landfill costs and greenhouse gas emissions. Food waste can be recycled as compost and used to generate electricity.

The NSW Government has a target to increase the recycling rate for solid waste to 70% by 2021-22. Food waste recycling can help meet this target, reduce costs and give an environmental benefit.

Benefits of Short Term Office Space in Melbourne

Looking for a great place to start a business but fear being locked into a long-term lease? Short-term office space in Melbourne is an option that may be just what you’re looking for. Short-term office space can provide you with all the benefits of a traditional office without some drawbacks. With this list, you can quickly narrow your options by learning about the best benefits of short-term office space in Melbourne.

Flexibility

The benefit of short term office space in Melbourne is that it allows a company to have a flexible workspace. The company can move its employees into the office space and then move them out when they are not using it. This allows companies to get rid of the cost of renting an office or even building their own office space.

Reduced Overhead Costs

A company can reduce its overheads by using short-term office space because there are no setup costs involved in setting up an office or setting up furniture in an existing one. The company only needs to pay for electricity, internet connection, and other utilities required for a business to operate efficiently in its chosen area.

Increased Productivity

As most people know, productivity increases when there is less distraction in your workspace area, and you have more focus on what you need to do instead of other things around you, such as noisy neighbors or children playing outside nearby premises (which is especially true if those are your employees!).

It’s Affordable

The cost of long-term and short-term office space can vary significantly, depending on the size and location. Short-term offices offer an even better value than the long term as they are typically less expensive. They also provide flexibility in terms of timespan, site, and several employees working in the same space.
