C Cell - COntrolled hazardous waste management
Southern Waste Solutions (SWS) plays a unique and crucial role in waste management, operating as the only controlled waste facility in Tasmania.
Before the completion of the C Cell in 2018, hazardous waste was stockpiled at worksites across Tasmania or sent interstate, risking contamination of waterways and the urban environment. Now, SWS can accept controlled waste from the transport, aquaculture, mining and manufacturing sectors as well as from the public at their isolated disposal facility at the Copping Landfill facility.
The Copping C Cell facility has been built to exceed the highest global standards and undergoes regular independent monitoring and testing.
The C Cell is a highly engineered landfill unit, using compacted clay as a tertiary containment layer followed by a double HDPE lining system, including the use of an automated leak detection system. A 3D GPS tracking system is used at this facility to map the locations of all waste placed inside the cell should it need to be recovered.
