whilst servicing a
growing population?
Northern Sydney Regional
Organisation of Councils
(NSROC)

2. THE CHALLENGE
Theyneeded help to achieve their resource recovery
targets at a minimum cost and investment.
Northern Sydney Regional Organisation of Councils
(NSROC) faces increased waste disposal issues from
a growing population and a decrease in availability of
disposal sites.

3. THE SOLUTION
• Short term competitive landfill solution.
• An increase in the capacity of the
Woodlawn Mechanical Biological
Treatment (WoMBaT) facility to process
35% of NSROC’s waste.
• Development of a Refuse Derived Fuel
(RDF) from residues to deliver a future
energy from waste solution.
• Disposal of remaining waste to
Woodlawn’s bioreactor for additional
energy recovery and to minimise overall
costs.

4. HOW WE DO IT
Being open and honest.
Reduction of current waste disposal costs are
achieved with a short term landfill solution.
Treating only the minimum tonnages required over
the life of the contract.
Achieving more diversion per treated tonne by
delivering an RDF solution on the residual waste.
And taking a few risks …(understanding the
consequences).
