The Proposal
The proposal is for an organics treatment
facility adjacent to the existing Copping Landfill for the processing of up to
30,000 tonnes of food organics and garden organics (FOGO) from municipal
collections. Other organic wastes may also be composted. Three composting options
are being considered including in-vessel composting, anaerobic digestion
methods and open windrow composting, with in-vessel composting proposed as the
main system. It is proposed to utilise the methane gas generated from the
anaerobic digestion system to contribute fuel to the existing (or new)
generator and feed into the existing electrical network at the adjacent
landfill site.
