Thousands of tonnes of recycling stockpiled in warehouses around Melbourne will begin to be cleaned up after the Andrews government loaned SKM's receivers $10 million.
The Andrews government says it is working with local councils on a “major overhaul” of the kerbside collection system to prevent future failures. “An overhaul of kerbside collection is the next step in getting our recycling sector back on track by reducing contamination and improving the quality of recyclable materials,” she said.
Australia’s largest waste disposer, Cleanaway, has bought $60 million of that debt, putting it in a strong position to take over SKM.A huge fire broke out at SKM's Coolaroo site in 2017, sending plumes of toxic smoke over Melbourne’s northern suburbs. The blaze forced the evacuation of businesses and residents.

Taylor warns Vic’s renewable target could cost households $8,200 | Sky News AustraliaThe federal and Victorian governments have clashed over the “significant” cost and local impact of meeting the state’s renewable energy target of 50 per cent by 2030.\n\nEnergy Minister Angus Taylor claims it would cost Victorians between $15.4 and $18.7 billion to meet the target, based on analysis of figures from the CSIRO and the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO), meaning households could be hit for $8,200 each. \n\nHe said the Andrews Government needs to explain to Victorians why it is failing to integrate renewables into the state and how it will keep electricity flowing across summer. \n\nMr Taylor also warned the costs could flow onto other states and raise electricity prices. \n\nLast week AEMO reported up to 1.3 million homes in the state could be left without power in summer due to an electricity shortage. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia
