Asha and Kali from Calista don't waste an opportunity to get informed. Check out the report they wrote after visiting the Rockingham Landfill Site. Well done!
Landfill Cells
·
At
Millar Road Landfill site cells are made by digging a big hole, adding a thick
layer of plastic and then adding pipes for the excess liquid.
·
A
single cell at Millar Road Landfill will last up to 2 years.
·
When
a cell is full they cover it with a thick layer of plastic, clay and then sand.
After that is done they plant shallow rooted native plants.
·
From
now on there are not allowed to be any new landfill sites on the Swan Coastal
Plain.

If any of the schools that attended the Rockingham/Kwinana Roadshow would like to visit the Millar Road Landfill Facility please email me at kelly.baulch@rockingham.wa.gov.au . I will provide a bus for your class too. It is a big wake up call to see how much stuff we throw out, and a great motivator to make less rubbish and recycle!
