I refer to the 25 November 2019 fire that occurred at Cleanaway’s South Guildford facility, and I ask: (a) can the Minister confirm that no dioxin, furan or bromine contaminated fire waste or debris from the Guildford Cleanaway fire was deposited in a class three or other landfill not licensed to take such waste classifications in Western Australia; (b) can the Minister confirm that the Guildford Cleanaway Materials Recovery Facility site is not contaminated with dioxin, furan or bromine contaminated materials resulting from the fire that occurred on 25 November 2019; and (c) given the debris that landed in residential backyards in Bassendean and Guildford that came from the Guildford Cleanaway Materials Recovery Facility fire, can the Minister confirm that this material is not hazardous, toxic or harmful to human health?
