New organics waste facility set to reduce landfill

Nick Duigan, Minister for Parks and Environment

Dulverton Waste Management has unveiled a state-of-the-art Regional Organics Facility in Tasmania’s North-West to reduce the amount going to landfill.

Funded by both the Tasmanian Government’s Organic Waste Processing Grant Program and the Australian Government’s Regional Recovery Partnerships Program, the Dulverton Organics Treatment Facility is now officially complete.

Receiving $9 million towards the project from both State and Australian Governments, the new Latrobe facility is capable of processing more than 50,000 tonnes of organic waste each year and turning it into compost.
