Seberang Prai to draw on Fremantle’s success story in solid waste disposal


FREMANTLE in Western Australia is keen on sharing with its sister city, Seberang Prai, its success story of replacing its sanitary landfill with a regional solid waste composting and recycling facility, said its mayor Brad Pettitt.

Pettitt said the city closed down its landfill in the early 1990s to embark on a regional waste management strategy with neighbouring cities — Cockburn, East Fremantle, Kwinana, Melville and Rockingham.
