MRF Description:
Biomass Facility
The Biomass Facility operated by Biomass Solutions (Coffs Harbour) Pty. Ltd. is an innovative waste treatment facility which processes organics (greenwaste and foodwaste) and residual waste (garbage).
Reject material is removed from the organics material in the receival hall prior to being composted by mechanical turners over a period of 21 days. The composted product is available for purchase from the facility.
The residual waste is sorted to remove bulky and hazardous waste, sterilised in an autoclave and then separated into its various components including a composted fraction, recyclable steel and aluminium and non-recyclable residual waste.
The volume of waste to landfill after processing is reduced by approximately 70%.
Tours
Tours of the Recycling and Biomass Facilities can be arranged for groups of more than 10. Call 6652 1733 to make a booking.
