The Uleybury landfill is owned and operated by the Northern Adelaide Waste Management Authority (NAWMA). It is situated on the site of a former quartzite quarry and has been in use since 2005. It is a best-practice landfill (balefill) operation with strict adherence to monitoring and controls, which protect the surrounding environment.
Each year around 86,000 tonnes of household and commercial waste is baled at NAWMA’s Edinburgh North Waste Processing Facility. The bales, which each weigh around 1.5 tonnes, are then transported via purpose-built wing-liner semi-trailers to the landfill site.
