Kyogle Landfill still closed

The Kyogle Landfill Facility has sustained serious damage and flooding as a result of Tropical Cyclone Alfred. As the Kyogle Landfill Facility is a licensed facility under environmental protection legislation, Council is unable to put in place temporary waste disposal arrangements without the approval of relevant state agencies.

State agencies have been advised of the damage to the facility and are developing solutions for Council. As soon as alternative arrangements are in place, Council will advise the community.

Mallanganee and Woodenbong Transfer stations are operating as normal. Bonalbo Transfer Station will also open tomorrow if flooding on the Clarence Way has subsided.

The Lismore Recycling and Recovery Centre, the Nammoona (Casino) Waste and Resource Recovery Facility and the Nimbin Transfer Station are also open should people need to dispose of general waste or recyclable materials in the interim.

Council apologises for the inconvenience and we ask for your patience as we work to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
