Waste Concerns for Waste Management Companies reports Rubbish Removal In Sydney

(EstateNewsWire.com, March 28, 2013 ) Sydney, Australia -- Western Australia's Health Department is facing new and more adamant calls for change to the policy that allows for clinical waste from businesses to be dumped in the region's landfills. The cause for the calls is that there is a growing fear of the general health risks that are associated with the dumping of such waste.

One of the largest Australian waste groups SITA, has raised its concerns with the department that the waste could leach into the groundwater. That effect could cause potential spreading of infections and disease. Such waste that includes drugs, human and animal tissue, are obvious health concerns if they enter into the water system at any capacity.

The waste group is thus asking to be paid to transport the clinical waste from the regional areas of the metropolitan area, which is in keeping with other Australian districts and cities. The company’s West Australian general manager, Neal Stock, has stated that an increase in the volume of clinical waste going into the landfill, as well as the lack of protective lining in the landfills is more cause for concern regarding the matter.

"Greater numbers of people living in remote and regional areas of WA has led to higher volumes of clinical waste being generated in these locations," he said. "(This) coincides with media coverage of more resistant strains of infectious disease which may be expected to be a bigger risk to health in hot and or humid regions.

"Clearly, the cost of transporting it back to Perth would be higher than the current cost of landfilling it locally. However, price should not be the main consideration when there are important public health concerns."
