A Campbellfield company has been fined more than $8000 by the Environment Protection Authority (EPA)
Monash Bin Hire & Demolition was found to be depositing mixed construction and demolition waste at a site in Preston that was not licensed to accept it.
EPA northern metropolitan manager Jeremy Settle said EPA officers inspected the premises and observed one of the company’s trucks tipping a load of waste.
“While the driver advised that the load was crushed rock, delivered to fill a hole, it was clear that it was mixed construction and demolition waste, as it contained bricks, concrete, tiles and plastic, among other things,” Mr Settle said.
