      Hi EWB Team,
      What is the primary method of transporting waste off Saibai Island both on water and once it reaches mainland Australia?

      Kind Regards

        Hi Vansh,

        According to this fact sheet from TSIRC – Commercial and Construction Waste Restrictions: “waste storage container can be put on to the service barge for removal“.

        The wastes being sent off the islands undergo a biosecurity inspection prior to disposal in mainland Australia.

        I hope that helps.

        Regards,
        Jean
