Approvals Related to Use of Output
Important Note on Composting in NSW
In NSW, applying waste to land – including a processed waste such as compost - or using it as a fuel may trigger various regulatory requirements.
Depending on the proposed use you may be required to comply with a
Resource Recovery Exemption or need to hold an environment protection
licence, and pay the waste levy.
While there is a Compost Exemption (2014) it is important to note that
drying or dehydrating food waste, or any other compostable waste, is specifically excluded from consideration under this exemption. Drying or dehydrating
equipment uses externally supplied energy to heat and ventilate food waste or any other compostable waste in order to rapidly dry the waste material over
a short time period (typically 24 to 48 hours), either with or without the addition of an inoculum. If you are interested in this type of equipment you
should refer to the resource recovery exemptions for information on lawful use of outputs.
