The Toowoomba Region’s bold ambition to dispose of waste more efficiently is a step closer following the release of details for an innovative waste treatment trial with a Toowoomba firm.
Toowoomba Regional Council’s Water and Waste Committee today (September 8) recommended that Council formalise a trial with Pyrocal for the thermal treatment of various waste streams managed by Council.
The Committee recommendation will be considered for adoption at next Tuesday’s (September 15) Ordinary Meeting of Council.
TRC Water and Waste Committee chair Cr Rebecca Vonhoff said the Committee’s recommendations would allow Council to work towards meeting the Queensland Waste Management and Resource Recovery Strategy that encouraged waste businesses to investigate alternative waste management processing.
“We want to maximise value from waste and minimise the volume that is disposed in landfill,” Cr Vonhoff said.
