Guide to Kerbside Performance Reporting (2007)

Who should do a kerbside audit?

Apart from implementing a kerbside audit program as part of a council’s obligations under the our Kerbside Performance Incentives program, this standard methodology and reporting format can be used by any council and can be applied for any of the following purposes: 

•  Report within a council and/or region on the performance of a chosen waste and recycling system 
•  Compare performance with that of other councils in similar circumstances
•  Provide the State Government (including Green Industries SA and the EPA) with data on the performance of kerbside systems 
•  Providing feedback to the community on their recycling efforts 
•  Reviewing the performance of a new system (for example, 6 months after its introduction)
• Reviewing an existing system prior to tendering for a new kerbside contract or at a mid-term review.
