Action |
Step 1 |
Contact Southern Waste Solutions, the agent for C Cell Pty Ltd to obtain a copy of the waste disposal application form - finance@swstas.com.au or click here to download. Email the completed form, NATA accredited laboratory analysis reports, photos, and other relevant information to finance@swstas.com.au as your request to dispose. SWS will the arrange an independent assessment of the results to ensure that the waste is suitable for disposal to the C cell, and to note any specific conditions required for that disposal. This may take a while and more information may be required. Once we receive advice from our environmental scientist, SWS applies to the EPA for an environmental approval to be issued to SWS on your behalf. If you don’t already have an account with C Cell P/L, please request a Credit Application at this time. Your drivers or nominated transporter will also need to be inducted to site, so please send us a list of names and a contact e-mail so that we can arrange the online inductions. |
Step 2 |
Once the EPA approval letter and environmental approval has been received (indicating that the waste is permitted for disposal to the C Cell), SWS will send a formal letter of acceptance. (This may take a while) After you have received our acceptance letter, please obtain a booking time and date for the disposal from finance@swstas.com.au This may take a few days as the C Cell is not open full time and bookings are managed to ensure permit requirements are met. Unique weighbridge access tags will also need to be created and collected from our Lutana office at 129 Derwent Park Rd, Lutana. You will be sent relevant paperwork (including a C Cell Disposal Booking Sheet) to be taken to the landfill at the time of delivery where it will be checked by the C Cell operator prior to the disposal. |
Step 3 |
Ensure that you have collected the C Cell weighbridge access tags (at least) the day before the disposal is scheduled. These will be created for the waste type specified in the EPA letter of approval. |
Step 4 |
Transport the waste to the C Cell at the agreed time & date. SWS will arrange for the cell to be unlocked and the operator on standby to check the paperwork and accept the waste. |
Step 5 |
Tag onto the weighbridge and obtain a copy of the “weigh in” docket as this will be checked by the C Cell operator before tipping. The operator will retain the paperwork. Under the permit conditions, your load will be refused if you do not have an access tag and/or your paperwork. |
Step 6 |
Once disposal has been completed and the paperwork has been signed off by the C Cell operator, tag off on the weighbridge and obtain your completed weighbridge docket. |
Step 7 |
A bill and evidence of the disposal will be sent at month end. Terms are 30 days from invoice date. |
