Latrobe City Commercial Landfill Facility and PineGro

Come see an overview of how your household waste is processed in Latrobe City.

The first stop on this coach-based tour is at the landfill. See what goes into the design and operation of a large-scale commercial landfill—a complex process that balances environmental requirements and maximum efficiency.

We will take the coach to see the active landfill cell and observe the biogas electricity generator. We also briefly explain what happens to your recycling after collection.

At Pinegro we follow the composting process once the contents of your FOGO bin arrive, from sorting through to composting and maturation of the final compost product. See the sorting shed and composting chambers and learn how the compost is sorted and graded.

Meet at rear of Gippsland Performing Arts Centre. Wear walking shoes. There is a small amount of walking involved, the ground may be uneven, and we will be visiting an industrial facility.
