Dust Suppression & Odour Control
for Waste Transfer & Recycling Facilities

High-pressure misting systems for waste transfer stations, recycling and MRF facilities — designed to satisfy EPA licence conditions, control boundary dust and neutralise odour at source. NSW-based, projects nationwide.

✓ EPA Licence Compliant ✓ PM10 / PM2.5 Standards ✓ Odour Neutralisation ✓ SWMS Documentation Available
Trusted by leading waste, civil and government organisations across Australia
The Challenge

Dust and Odour Are a Compliance
Problem Before They're Anything Else.

Waste transfer stations, recycling and MRF facilities generate airborne dust across active tipping floors and processing areas, and odour that drifts to the site boundary. Both are licence conditions under the EPA's Protection of the Environment Operations Act — and both are common triggers for boundary complaints and enforcement.

youmist designs zoned high-pressure misting systems that intercept dust at the source and neutralise odour at the boundary, automated to run only during active operations — without wetting the tipping floor, disrupting plant movement or creating runoff.

EPA Notice or Licence Condition

Your EPA licence requires dust and odour controls. We provide the system and the documentation to satisfy it.

Boundary or Neighbour Complaints

Dust or odour leaving your site perimeter is an EPA Protection of the Environment Operations Act issue. A fixed perimeter misting line solves it.

New or Upgraded Facility

Suppression specified from day one. We work with your engineers to integrate dust and odour control into the facility design.

Year-Round Operation

A facility that runs continuously needs a system that does too. Automated control and a maintenance agreement keep it compliant.

Waste Transfer Station
Dust Suppression Installation

Industrial Waste Operator · Sydney Metro Region

A major Sydney metro waste transfer facility required a fixed dust suppression system across the active tipping floor to satisfy EPA licence conditions and address boundary dust complaints from neighbouring properties.

youmist designed and installed a zoned high-pressure misting system across the full tipping floor area, with atomising nozzle arrays positioned to intercept dust at source, with automated controls triggered during active tipping operations. The system was commissioned within the facility's operating schedule with zero downtime required.


  • EPA licence condition satisfied on commissioning
  • Boundary dust complaints resolved
  • Automated operation with no manual intervention required
  • Full compliance documentation provided to EPA on handover

Compliance

Built Around the Standards
That Matter at Your Facility.

Every youmist waste and recycling system is designed and documented against the EPA and SafeWork requirements that apply to your facility, so that commissioning, licence submission and audit are straightforward from day one.

EPA Protection of the Environment Operations Act

Dust and odour systems designed to satisfy EPA licence conditions for waste and recycling facility operators. Full compliance documentation provided on handover.

PM10 / PM2.5 Ambient Air Quality Standards

System design targets NSW EPA ambient air quality standards for PM10 and PM2.5, including boundary monitoring integration where required by licence conditions.

Boundary Odour & Amenity

Odour neutralisation designed to manage off-site amenity impacts and reduce the risk of boundary complaints and EPA enforcement action.

SafeWork NSW / WHS Act

Systems designed and documented to meet SafeWork NSW obligations for dust exposure in industrial waste-handling environments.
