AB Lime has applied for seven new consents and to vary an existing consent for its site at Kings Bend, about 5km east of Winton. In its application, it says it wishes to become “the premier landfill for the southern regions of the South Island.” It is seeking to receive an uncapped amount of waste at its landfill, where it can currently receive 100,000 tonnes of waste a year.
