“The purpose-built waste site was designed with a series of giant landfill cells, each as big as two football fields and four metres deep,” Evans said. “Rather than simply dumping the waste in a hole, residential landfill waste is compressed into cubic metre bales in Orange and then transported to the site to be stacked in rows. Orange City Council’s Environmental Sustainability Committee Chair, Councillor David Mallard, said the design of the waste facility continues to be pioneering.
