Minimizing Fresh Waste Exposure
Current practices involve cover removal, followed by waste unloading, spreading and
compaction using the smallest area possible. Inevitably “Bin Odours” are released in this
process and odour flushing occurs due to gas release. These odour releases can be
mitigated by progressively spreading mulched woody material/earth mixture and compacting it
along with the waste, with a final top up at day end. In this way a biofilter is established
rapidly which does not impede compaction on the face or spreading, but odour is mitigated.
