The decision was based on investigation and research undertaken by Fleurieu Regional Waste Authority (FRWA) between 2012 and 2014. This research included public consultation, several region-wide bin audits and a pilot program between October 2013 and February 2014 in Hayborough.

The Kerbside Waste Collection Policy also includes initiatives aimed to meet the needs of large households (5 or more persons), families with residents in nappies and residents with special medical needs. Residents meeting one or more of these criteria may apply to Council for an Exceptional Circumstances Bin to be collected fortnightly at no charge.
