New garbage compactor in Minjilang

08 November 2018

West Arnhem Regional Council (WARC) was fortunate to receive a Special Purpose Grant from the Department of Housing and Community Development to purchase a new garbage compactor for the Minjilang community.
Council identified that purchasing a new garbage truck will guarantee long-term benefits to sustainable core service delivery in Minjilang and ultimately provide a healthier community. 
While improving waste management and litter reduction services, the new rubbish compactor will increase the efficiency and capacity to deliver services in a shorter timeframe. It will also assist with disaster and clean up mitigation.
The new machinery has also provided employment and training opportunities in waste management and general council operations. 
The grant contributed $80,000 towards the purchase of the machinery and West Arnhem Regional Council wishes to thank the Department of Housing and Community Development for the support.
