    Let’s Keep Milingimbi Safe - No Fires at the Landfill

    East Arnhem Regional Council is asking everyone to help keep the Milingimbi community safe and healthy.


    The landfill at Milingimbi is licensed under the Northern Territory Environment Protection Authority, and their rules state that fires are not allowed at this site.


    When rubbish is burned, harmful gases can be released. It can make people sick, especially djamarrkuli (children) and elders. It can also harm animals and country.


    Dangerous fires can start from hot ashes, tyres, and batteries. These items can cause serious harm if burned and must be disposed of safely.


    Dispose safely

    • Bring household batteries and mobile phones to the Council Office
    • Car batteries, tyres, and gas bottles must be disposed of in nominated bays at the landfill


    Only trained Council staff can make decisions about waste and fire safety. If you see a fire at the landfill, please report it to the Council straight away on 08 8970 1702.


    Thank you for working together to look after Milingimbi and for respecting the rules that keep bukmak (everyone) safe.
