Collex (now known as Veolia Environmental Services) provides a full range of waste management, recycling and industrial services to customers across Australia.
New alternative waste treatment facilities, the Woodlawn Alternative Sorting and Processing (WASP) and the Woodlawn Composted Organics and Greenwaste (WOCOG) facilities are being designed by Veolia Environmental Services (Collex).
The WASP facility has been designed to recover resources from waste. This new facility will be located at Collex's Woodlawn Eco-Precinct, complementing the existing resource recovery activities of the Woodlawn Bioreactor.
The Woodlawn Alternative Sorting and Processing (WASP) facility will be built in modules which can treat up to 120,000 tonnes per year of municipal solid and commercial waste, with a total capacity of 240,000 tonnes per year. Waste will be sourced from the Sydney region and delivered to Collex's Crisps Creek intermodal facility (approximately 10 kilometres from Woodlawn) via rail and will be transferred to trucks for the final 10 kilometre road journey to Woodlawn.
Waste received at the WASP facility will be sorted by purpose built machinery into organic and predominantly inert fractions for further processing. The system will also separate metal from both fractions.
The organic part of the waste will be composted in open windrows to produce a range of compost materials that will be used in rehabilitation and landscape projects on site. The organic material will be kept in windrows for 8 to 10 weeks so that it can become biologically stable and odour free.
Recyclables will be recovered by hand from the inert fraction and separated for transport to further processing off site.
