TRC landfill changes in Barraba and Manilla

Hi Barraba and Manilla residents,

We’ve heard that there has been mention of the potential closure of your landfills. We wanted to reach out to let you know this is NOT the case.

As part of a review we recently undertook it was recommended we look at converting your landfills to Small Vehicle Transfer Stations. This conversion will not change what waste you can dispose of at your local waste management facility. What it will do is reduce the licensing requirements for the facilities, reduce environmental impacts, increase opportunities for resource recovery, and much more.

We will be sure to keep you up to date on any proposed or planned changes.
