Yesterday what appeared to be loose fill asbestos was disposed at the landfill by a customer, potentially contaminating the site.
The potential hazard has now been eliminated with all probable material contained.
“Safety of the community and our staff in situations such as this, is of the utmost importance, which is why the landfill was closed immediately upon discovery of the asbestos”, general manager Joseph Vescio said.
Council thanks the community for their cooperation during the closure period.
“We apologise for any inconvenience caused to customers during the busy winter season. Thank you to those staff that worked diligently yesterday to ensure the site is safe and operating again as quickly as possible,” Mr Vescio said.
