Western Sydney glass recycler fined $15,000 over storage breaches
The NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) has fined a western Sydney glass recycling company $15,000 for alleged breaches of waste storage conditions.
Glass Recycling (NSW) Pty Ltd holds an Environment Protection Licence to operate a resource recovery facility at Swaffham Road, Minto.
The EPA required the company to cease storing glass outside their processing building, which was a breach of their licence.
Following a series of reminders, an EPA inspector visited the site on 2 December 2020 and found glass was still being stored outside the building, despite the deadline for its removal having passed. The site has a prior history of non-compliance.
