Delta is committed to complying with all statutory requirements set out in the relevant legislation, regulations and licenses issued by a number of government authorities. These cover the range of activities related to electricity generation. Delta fully complies with the NSW Government’s Waste Reduction and Purchasing Policy (WRAPP). Each year we prepare a report for the Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water on actions taken to implement the policy. We aim to reduce landfill by about a 10% reduction each year in accordance with WRAPP. By consolidating all waste management into a single contract with a single service provider the following innovations and initiatives have been introduced to reduce landfill.
- Recycling of fluorescent tubes, most plastic items and a range of batteries instead of them going to landfill.
- Computers, monitors, keyboards, printers and photocopiers are recycled.
- A drum crusher has been installed to crush drums which attract a scrap metal rebate.
- Timber is being collected separately instead of going in the general waste bin and is then recycled at the local tip as green waste.
- Scrap metal is sorted into the different metals which attract a greater rebate.
