Evolution of a collection scheme in 15 years: quality and efficiency in the North Italian experience

When considering organic waste collection, quality is always a critical aspect. This work summarizes the experience of the Northern Italian waste management public consortium TV3 (Treviso Tre), which has been running residential source separation schemes of organic waste since the mid 1990s. Today the mature separate collection scheme shows contamination rates of less than 2% in the collected feedstock.

The aim of the work is to show the evolution of the scheme in a timeframe of 15 years, looking at major changes and improvements that helped to achieve the present performance. Waste characterization analyses have been an essential tool in the planning and monitoring of such schemes, and this work is based on a large data set of more than 300 analyses performed between 1998 and 2009. Evidence is shown about how the type of collection ('fetch†schemes vs. 'bring†schemes) and the choice of tools used in the household (containers and bags) is essential in determining the quality of the collected food waste.
