Minister for Environment and Conservation Paul Caica today opened a world-first organics recycling plant at Buckland Park which aims to improve the quality of compost generated from Adelaide’s green waste.
Mr Caica says the South Australian-designed and built Jeffries Group’s Recycled Organics Screening System (ROSS) will help maintain our State’s nation leading role in reducing landfill.
The organics screening system in Adelaide’s north is part of a $3 million plant upgrade by Jeffries Group that has been supported by $300,000 in funding from Zero Waste SA.
Jeffries Group recycles more than 100,000 tonnes of organic material each year. Its state-of- the-art Buckland Park composting facility opened five years ago.
The remains of a giant Fin Whale washed ashore at Port Parham last weekend could end up in your garden as compost.
While the skeleton of the rare 17-metre whale will be retained by the SA Museum, the huge carcass will be composted by leading recycler, Jeffries at its composting facility north of Adelaide.
Jeffries’ the compost, soil and mulch experts have introduced the innovative Commercial Food Organics Recycling Service.
The service was officially launched by The Minister for Environment and Conservation, the Hon. Jay Weatherill, in November 2008. Since that time the service has grown rapidly, with more than 150 sites across Metropolitan Adelaide now participating, including supermarkets, hotels and restaurants.
The service collects and recycles the food organics of participating sites across Metropolitan Adelaide and turns it into valuable compost, soil and mulch products, diverting it from landfill and reducing harmful greenhouse gases.
SA recycling pioneer ARR has deployed a 68-tonne mobile concrete crusher to meet massive demand for ‘green’ building products from SA’s defence and transport infrastructure boom.
The $2.2 million Nordberg Impact Crusher –Adelaide’s largest mobile crusher – will turn waste concrete, previously dumped as landfill into “Recycled Rubble”, which is used for the foundations in major infrastructure projects. Recycled Rubble is a high quality “green” alternative to virgin rock quarried from the Adelaide Hills.
ARR (Adelaide Resource Recovery) has purchased the massive machine to quadruple its capacity. Recycled Rubble is in strong demand from construction companies for use in building foundations and to create well-compacted bases for new roads and bridges.
