As the local community continues its clean-up efforts following recent extraordinary weather, we’re experiencing a notable increase in the quantity of waste form kerbside bins and storm debris for transfer to landfill, recycling and green waste composting. With Sydney landfills having also been impacted by the extreme weather, it’s going to take longer than usual for us to on-transfer waste out of our Spring Farm Resource Recovery Park and Camden organics facilities.

Unfortunately, wet waste can generate odour. We understand that’s a concern for the community and so it’s also a concern for us. To mitigate adverse events, we’re working harder to manage potential odour as best as practically possible. We have increased staff work hours and added additional equipment and processing resources to help clear the increased quantity.

We appreciate your understanding as we work through the challenging weeks ahead. If you would like to share your feedback, you can contact the SUEZ environmental hotline on 1800 368 737.
