Work is currently being carried out by Whitsunday Regional Council Contractors JJ Richards, to
moderate spontaneous combustion intermittently occurring in the green waste facility at the
Cannonvale Waste Transfer Station on Carlo Drive.
The works include breaking up and dampening down the effected green waste matter using heavy machinery.
The green waste facility will be closed until further notice to enable these works to be carried out in a safe and expedient manner.
The rest of the Cannonvale Waste Transfer Facility will operate as normal. The Kelsey Creek
Green Waste Facility is geared to receive any additional green waste in the interim.
