Latrobe City Council is encouraging community members to attend an information session for a proposed local Wet Waste Drying Facility this April. The proposed location of the facility is at Hyland Highway Landfill. The facility would streamline drainage waste from Latrobe City's network of stormwater drainage pits, pipelines and gross pollutant traps to minimise operational costs associated with typical disposal.
