The results of this preliminary report will be incorporated into the Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) that will inform the design and implementation of a Container Deposit Scheme (CDS) in NSW. The study also serves to provide useful information for litter reduction and management programs. The study was divided into the following two components:

  1. a literature review of national and international studies that seek to quantify the cost and impact of litter; and
  2. a preliminary study of the current costs of litter management in NSW.
