Six Victorian councils are back to sending their footpath waste to recycling rather than to the tip, following the repair of Victorian processor SKM.
After the collapse of the processor, councils were forced to divert waste to landfill for months.
Environment Minister Lily D’Ambrosio said SKM’s Laverton North site is now fully operational, while its Coolaroo site is yet to return to business.
“At Coolaroo they are making some significant progress in cleaning up those materials - they were far more contaminated,” Minister D’Ambrosio said.
