Waste management and landfill facility in Sydney, Australia
About
The Lucas Heights Resource Recovery Park (LHRRP) is one of the largest waste management and resource recovery facilities in the Sydney metropolitan area, located in Lucas Heights, New South Wales, Australia. Also known as Lucas Heights Landfill, the facility operates as a waste disposal and resource recovery centre, providing public drop-off services for a range of recyclable materials, including paper and cardboard, steel and scrap metal, used oil, and vehicle batteries.
The site also incorporates the Lucas Heights Organic Resource Recovery Facility, which receives and processes organic waste for conversion into compost and other recycled organic products. The facility is licensed to receive up to 550,000 tonnes of putrescible and non-putrescible solid waste annually. Owned and operated by Cleanaway, the facility accepts household waste, construction and demolition waste, commercial waste and industrial waste. As Sydney's only remaining putrescible landfill, the facility receives household, commercial and industrial waste from numerous local councils, including Fairfield, Liverpool and Blacktown City Councils, all of which use Cleanaway as their waste collection contractor.
