The Pilbara Regional Waste Management Facility (PRWMF), is set to become the go-to provider of comprehensive waste management solutions in the Pilbara and surrounding regions. Located on the outskirts of Onslow close to the North West Coastal Highway, the PRWMF offers unparalleled services to commercial, industrial, mining, oil, and gas customers. The PRWMF provides a diverse range of services catering to all waste types (both solid and liquid), from Class I inert material to Class IV hazardous and contaminated waste. This ensures that businesses operating in the industrial, mining, oil, and gas sectors can confidently rely on our services for the responsible management of their varied waste streams. The PRWMF is operated by the Shire of Ashburton, and is fully licensed by the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DWER)
A standout feature catering to the unique needs of industrial clients is the state-of-the-art triple-lined Class IV landfill. This cutting-edge landfill is the only facility of its type outside of Perth, making it an indispensable resource for the Pilbara and its neighbouring regions. For industries that generate hazardous waste, having access to a specialised facility capable of safely containing and managing Class IV waste is not only crucial but provides significant cost savings when compared to either transport of waste to Perth or dilution via fixation which is common practice in the region. The triple lining adds an extra layer of environmental protection, ensuring that potential contaminants are effectively contained, preventing harm to the surrounding ecosystem.
Moreover, the facility’s commitment to recovery and recycling further benefits industrial, mining, oil, and gas enterprises by promoting sustainable waste management practices. Companies in these sectors often deal with large volumes of materials that can be repurposed or recycled. The facility’s ability to facilitate the recovery and recycling of materials underscores its dedication to environmental sustainability, aligning with the growing emphasis on corporate responsibility and eco-friendly practices in these industries.
Ownership and operation of the facility by the Shire of Ashburton adds a layer of trust and local accountability. As a trusted local government entity, the Shire of Ashburton brings a deep understanding of the community’s needs and a commitment to the well-being of the region. This local ownership reinforces the facility’s role as a reliable partner for industrial, mining, oil, and gas customers, assuring them of a steadfast commitment to ethical and responsible waste management practices.
Access to a team of waste management professionals further adds value for industrial clients. Our experts are well-equipped to assist businesses with navigating the complexities of waste management, offering guidance on best practices, regulatory compliance, and tailored solutions. This personalised support ensures that customers can optimise their waste management strategies, promoting efficiency and adherence to environmental standards.
