Every Development Application made for a new bar/restaurant has to include a recycling program for all waste, glass included.

If you see this sort of thing, perhaps report it to the authorities?

there should be an organized recycling scheme, involving wine bottles, obviously, some clubs, pubs, bars, are having trouble recycling glass, make it easy for the few dumb cowboys dumping it on the roads, get bigger yellow bins, glass bins

They’re not having trouble they’re just not paying for them to be taken away.

There should be more organised recycling schemes - sure.

But you won't stop "dumb cowboys' dumping rubbish on the road. That's up to enforcement. If you see it, report it. Not hard.

Except in the industry there are literally dozens of organised schemes, depending where you trade.

If it's dumped on the road I will almost guarantee it's an individual/small business with zero care factor

thats right, they dont want to pay, or cant, refuse to pay,
then again, why does anyone need to pay, the gov should have a scheme of recycling
taking care of all recycled stuff and garbage , its a disgrace
just dump a full size pallet of wine bottle glass at.
Macquarie street , Sydney, NSW parliament house
glass doesn't breakdown in compost, we make it, its here forever, we can reuse it, make other uses for it

It’s a cost of doing business, why shouldn’t a business be fronting that cost? Someone has to pay so why should it be the taxpayer?

Business overheads.

All businesses have them, astonishingly

glass is a commodity, a resource, should be reused never ending, its 2021 soon, not 1921

it should not an overhead, all glass recyclers should be payed

I agree it should be reused, but that’s not free and the user should be paying for it not that taxpayer.

Commie talk.

But you're right. If you can't afford your business obligations, you can't afford to be in business in the first place.

It's unfortunate that this basic rule isn't always followed by big business, including large corporations who expect the tax payer to clean up their mess.

 

[not_all_there]

The onus is on the business to organise recycling. A way around the cowboys would be every restaurant/ cafe whatever should show proof they’ve done just that.

A way around the cowboys would be every restaurant/ cafe whatever should show proof they’ve done just that.

That's going after some low hanging fruit. Most cafes and restaurants want to have the right recycling methods in place. To be fair, many of them are battling just to stay in business.

The biggest problem with recycling is trying to stop the unrecyclable packaging coming into businesses and homes in the first place.

That brings us back to the packaging companies and the corporations that own them. What materials are they using in their manufacturing? And apart from the government, who else can put pressure on them to make more eco-friendly packaging? Big business can play a role here, eg large supermarket chains.

Yeah no easy answer hey

I don’t know how restaurants organise this but I know we have to show proof of corect disposal of refrigerant
No proof and we’re in deep poo

no you don't, it just has to be carried out by a qualified tradie with a signed service report

 

[not_all_there]

Yes you do. If we are audited and have no proof of refrigerant return the fines are enormous. you’re talking about servicing.
