16 Apr 2025 SKM Services Pty LtdSKM Services: 1.14 million AUD after major 2017 fire at Coolaroo recycling plant €639,874
A County Court jury convicted SKM Services Pty Ltd of aggravated pollution – having negligently caused or allowed an environmental hazard that created a considerable risk of serious danger to public health – and of three counts of air pollution; the company was fined 1.14 million AUD. The 2017 fire at the recycling plant in Coolaroo had spread through stockpiles of cardboard and other recyclables, burned for more than a week and led to evacuations in the neighbourhood; according to the court's findings, the company and its director contributed to the extent of the pollution by increasing the volumes stored although an earlier fire had reduced the processing capacity. Measures against individuals are not set out here.
Stockpiles of combustible recyclables and waste must be matched to actual processing capacity, especially after disruptions such as an earlier fire.
