New Skip Bins at Crookwell Landfill

In an effort to reduce windblown litter and ensure compliance with new NSW Environment ProtectionAuthority (EPA) requirements, lidded skip bins have beeninstalled at the Crookwell Landfill.Previously, domestic waste was emptied directly into thelandfill, increasing the risk of windblown litter as well asother environmental hazards such as fires and leachate.The change brings the Crookwell Landfill in-line withCouncil’s waste transfer stations where lidded skip binswere rolled out earlier this year.Installation of skip bins has dramatically reduced theamount of windblown litter and improved safety by removing the need to deposit waste at the tipping face.While there were some initial concerns about lifting wastefrom ground level into the elevated skip bins, customershave found bagging waste into smaller, more manageableweight packages has addressed the problem.For those customers who have a standard height utility, theheight of the skip bins allows for waste to be tipped fromthe tray directly into the bins.The introduction of the skip bins is part of Council’s $3.96million project to upgrade the Crookwell Landfill to extendthe life of the tip and ensure compliance with new EPAguidelines.Enquiries: Council’s Works and Operations Department on4830 1000.
