Asbestos
Buronga Landfill, located at 258 Arumpo Road, Buronga is licensed to accept asbestos that has been removed and packed in accordance with legislative requirements.
To ensure the safety of all Buronga Landfill users and the environment, it is essential to declare asbestos waste either on entry or prior to arrival.
Transporting Asbestos within NSW and interstate
Commercial Purposes
Asbestos transporters must report the movement of asbestos waste to the Environment Protection Authority (EPA). To help industry meet its legal obligations, the EPA has developed a new online system, Integrated Waste Tracking Solution (IWTS) for tracking and reporting on hazardous and regulated waste.
If you’re involved with the transport or disposal of asbestos waste weighing more than 100 kilograms, or more than 10 square metres of asbestos sheeting in 1 load in NSW, you must track and report this waste to the EPA using the new IWTS.
Weather inhibits asbestos disposal, where wet conditions are present, please contact (03) 5022 0145 to seek disposal approval from the Landfill Team (Weighbridge).
The IWTS generates a unique EPA consignment ID that allows each load to be monitored from the place of generation to the site of disposal. If you are planning on disposing of this waste at the Buronga Landfill, you will need to present this consignment ID upon entry. Persons not supplying the necessary information will be referred to EPA for their review.
For more information on the IWTS system, refer to NSW EPAs website Integrated waste tracking solution (nsw.gov.au)
Commercial asbestos disposals will only be accepted during business hours between Monday and Fridays unless otherwise authorised.
Residential Purposes
Council will only accept less than 100 kilograms of asbestos waste material from residents. All asbestos receivals need to comply with the triple wrapping requirements. Loads exceeding this volume are to be managed by an experienced asbestos removalist. The resident will be responsible for removing asbestos from their vehicles and placing in an area whereby onsite staff can pick up the package using bucket and loader machinery.
For any questions, please contact Buronga Landfill during office hours on (03) 5022 0145.
Asbestos disposals will be accepted during business hours between hours of 9am-4pm.
Transporting Tyres within NSW
Commercial Purposes
Tyre transporters must report the movement of tyre waste to the Environment Protection Authority. To help industry meet its legal obligations, the EPA has developed a new Integrated Waste Tracking Solution (IWTS) for tracking and reporting on hazardous and regulated waste.
The Buronga Landfill does not accept commercial quantities of tyres. If you or your business is involved with the collection of tyres, you must track and report this waste to the EPA using the new IWTS. The IWTS generates a unique EPA consignment ID that allows each load to be monitored from the place of generation to the site of disposal. Businesses are required to organise an agreement direct with a tyre recycler.
For more information on the new IWTS system, please refer to the NSW EPAs website Integrated waste tracking solution (nsw.gov.au)
Residential Purposes
Council will only accept a maximum of six tyres per transaction for residents that reside in the Wentworth Shire area.
Tyres from outside of the Wentworth Shire area should ideally be disposed of at their local transfer station or landfill.
