Waste Management
Waste at Coppabella and Moorvale mines is managed by integrating the principles of the waste management hierarchy (avoidance, reduction, recycling or disposal) and avoiding any direct or indirect impact on the health of the local community or the diverse ecology surrounding the minesite. The Company has a waste management plan which has been approved by the EPA and includes provision for the ongoing monitoring of waste management.
 
Macarthur Coal’s waste management policy does not permit landfills on site. All waste is removed by registered waste management contractors for recycling or disposal.
 
Macarthur Coal’s corporate office participates in reuse and recycling programs for laser printer cartridges, fax and ink cartridges and photocopier toner bottles. Waste paper is also collected and recycled. In 2006, Macarthur Coal undertook a Green Office Audit of its corporate office to identify any further areas where savings could be made. The results of the audit are now being analysed.
