Waste or resource transfer station and two warehouse units

The proposal is for a combined Warehouse and Waste or Resource Transfer Station (WRTS) that will process mixed waste materials from building yard and construction sites. It is estimated that approximately 10,000 tonnes of waste and resources will be received by the facility per year.

The proposed WRTS will collect waste from a number of sources. The waste collected will generally include solid waste from construction sites (residential and commercial) in the Tweed Council Region. Waste from the sites will be transported to the facility in skip bins which will be unloaded and sorted and processed. During this process any recyclable materials will be sold for reuse while non-recyclables are transported to landfill sites for disposal.
