Meru Landfill - About our Facility

Opening Hours: 7.30am – 4.30pm every day except Christmas Day, New Years Day and Good Friday.

The Meru Waste Disposal Facility is a Class III landfill side located at Landfill Lane, Narngulu, approximately 10km from the Geraldton CBD. The facility’s waste cells are designed according to the Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) approved standard.

Pursuant to Part V of the Environmental Protection Act 1986, the site is prescribed under the following categories:

• Category 61 – Liquid Waste Facility;
• Category 67A – Compost manufacturing and Soil Blending;
• Category 64 – Class II or Class III Putrescible Landfill site; and
• Category 57 – Used Tyre Storage (general).

The premises currently consist of:

• Four (4) waste cells with segregation by waste type;
• A liquid waste treatment facility, including two (2) evaporation ponds;
• A stock-truck washdown bay and evaporation pond;
• A transfer station, including waste oil tanks;
• A household hazardous goods store;
• Greenwaste mulching area; and a Material Recycling Facility

The landfill has a volume of 3.0 million m3, with a refuse depth of 13m and is lined with 0.6m of clay. This gives the landfill a life expectancy of approximately 50 years. Being a lined facility, the Class III cells are capable of accepting contaminated soil wastes.

The septage treatment facility has the capacity to treat 1.5 mega litres per annum. It consists of a primary, secondary and a polishing pond, all of which are High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) lined.
