Waste baling system
NAWMA's new waste processing facility at Elizabeth West features the world's most advanced system for compacting bales of domestic and industrial waste that is not suitable for recycling, re-use or recovery. The plant receives waste from NAWMA’s member Councils – Salisbury, Playford and Gawler. Regional Councils in the north will have access to the waste baling technology as increased pressure on rural landfill environmental standards are enforced by the Environment Protection Authority as well as Commercial and industrial waste sources in the region. The waste baling plant caters for up to 75,000 tonnes of waste each year. The operation and maintenance of the plant is contracted by NAWMA to its MRF contractor, Regional Recyclers Pty Ltd, which has delivered professional and efficient waste management services in South Australia for more than 40 years.  Extensive scientific and engineering input has gone into the development of the waste baling operations to ensure structures and operations comply with industrial noise and odour guidelines. Baled waste is loaded into purpose built vehicles for transport to the Uleybury landfill. Waste received from up to 4 pm Monday to Friday will be baled and transported to the Uleybury site on a same day basis. Waste received after 4pm will be baled and transported the following morning. Material received late on Saturdays and Sundays will be baled and stored indoors, then transported to the landfill on Monday mornings. Additional Resources
