Cloyna Waste Transfer Facility Partially Closed – Update
As South Burnett Regional Council has previously advised, illegal dumping of asbestos was uncovered at the Cloyna Waste Transfer facility earlier this year.
Due to the widespread asbestos contaminated materials, the green waste, scrap metal and timber waste still remain closed to the public.
Due to the large quantity of illegally dumped asbestos, Council is working with the State Government to find a solution to dispose of the contaminated materials in a safe manner. Council will endeavour to recommence normal operations at the facility once the State Government provides guidance.
Council would like to remind all members of the public that all fibrous type materials and asbestos containing materials should be carefully managed, wrapped, and disposed of at sites that are licensed to accept this material. The Kingaroy and Nanango Waste Facilities can accept this waste with 48 hours notice required. For further information visit Council’s website here. If you are unsure, consult a local accredited asbestos removalist.
If you see or become aware of any illegally dumped materials, you can contact Council on (07) 4189 9100, email info@sbrc.qld.gov.au or by scanning the QR Code below.
