Municipal services—container refund depots
(Question No 2943)

Mrs Kikkert asked the Minister for City Services, upon notice, on 21 February 2020 (redirected to the Minister for Recycling and Waste Reduction):

(1) What criteria and considerations were taken into account in determining container refund depots to be installed in (a) Evatt, (b) Belconnen (two locations), (c) Jamison, (d) Hawker and (e) Charnwood.

(2) Why were the locations referred to in part (1) chosen over installing a container refund depot at Kippax.

(3) Are there any plans to install a container refund depot at Kippax this year; if so, when and where; if not, why not.

Mr Steel: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

(1) The ACT Container Deposit Scheme (CDS) Network Operator, Re.Turn It, is responsible for selecting collection point locations. The Waste Management and Resource Recovery Act 2016 specifies that they must be spread over industrial and residential areas of the ACT. Re.Turn It has installed 21 collection points across the ACT. This flexibility allows for Re.Turn It to select locations where they believe will enable them to collect the greatest number of containers while providing a broad range of service options for Canberrans to participate in the CDS.

(2) See response to Question 1.

(3) See response to Question 1.
