A recent proposal for Council to accept a large quantity of contaminated waste at Murrumbateman landfill
will not proceed.
The proposal included accepting waste from a site within the ACT.
A detailed investigation has been undertaken by Council to determine approval and licensing
requirements. It is likely that the approval process would not meet the desired timeframe for removal of
the material and as such the contractor will explore other options.
The proposal would have generated significant income for Council which could have been used to
undertake much needed projects within the Murrumbateman area.
Enquiries in relation to this issue can be directed to Yass Valley Council on 6226 9248
