The BMW Regional Programs Division also manages the Mt Walton East Intractable Waste Disposal Facility on behalf of the WA State Government.
Intractable wastes do not have commercially viable recycling, reuse or disposal options and include wastes that need time to breakdown and chemical wastes that are not readily destroyed. These wastes need long-term management. The Facility provides a location where intractable wastes can be permanently isolated to protect the community and the environment.
