(1) Grease trap waste will be accepted at the Brookdale Liquid Waste Treatment Facility (LWTF) until the plant closes on 31 December 2003. From 1 July 2003, packaged industrial wastes will no longer be accepted at the Brookdale LWTF. Following the closure of the Brookdale LWTF in December 2003, grease trap wastes may be taken to facilities such as Total Waste Management’s plant in Kalgoorlie, Water Corporation’s Woodman Point site once the pre-treatment plant is constructed and the South Metropolitan Region Council’s Bedminster facility in Canning Vale. (2) Total Waste Management treats grease trap wastes using biodegradation in evaporation ponds. The Water Corporation’s pre-treatment plant at Woodman Point will remove solids and grease prior to discharge to the existing sewage treatment plant. The Bedminster facility will use greasetrap wastes as a component in its composting process. (3) Answered by (1).
