Southern Waste Solutions (SWS) C Cell Technology

Southern Waste Solutions (SWS) operates a C Cell at its Copping Waste Precinct, as part of Tasmania’s largest and most modern waste management facility network.

Southern Waste Solutions (SWS) is an established leader in Tasmania’s waste sector, jointly owned by Clarence City, Sorell, Tasman, and Kingborough Councils.

SWS services about 50% of Tasmania’s population across East Coast and Southern Tasmania, including the Break O’Day, Brighton, Clarence City, Glamorgan Spring Bay, Glenorchy City, Hobart City, Huon Valley, Kingborough, Sorell, Southern Midlands and Tasman Local Government Areas.

We operate Tasmania’s largest, most modern waste management facility network, including the Copping landfill, Copping regulated waste disposal cell (C Cell) and Lutana Waste Transfer Station.

Categories of Waste

Prior to opening, hazardous waste was either stockpiling at homes or shipped to the mainland for processing. This was unsafe, costly, and unsustainable.
Now, Southern Waste Solutions can accept controlled waste from the transport, aquaculture, mining and manufacturing sectors as well as from the public at their isolated disposal facility at Copping.

The Regulated Waste Disposal Cell (C Cell)

The C Cell is a highly engineered landfill unit built to meet the best practice landfill guidelines.

The C Cell is built with many layers to separate waste from the environment. Along with routine leak detection monitoring, SWS also utilises a 3D GPS tracking system to map the location of all waste inside. All material that enters the C Cell is tested, recorded and to allow for future removal and reprocessing as new technologies are developed.
