The NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) has fined the Bowral Waste Centre Pty Ltd $15,000 for alleged poor landfill management practices, likely to have contributed to offensive odours.
Residents living near the Kiama Street waste centre in Bowral have complained to the EPA about offensive ‘rotten egg’ odours since late May this year.
During the most recent inspection on 18 June 2021 EPA officers also detected the odours.
“During the inspection EPA officers observed a large area of uncovered waste at the south western corner of the landfill,” EPA Executive Director Steve Beaman said.
“The company’s licence requires exposed waste to be covered at the end of each day. This requirement reduces the chance that odours can escape offsite and impact nearby homes and businesses.
