Get DirectionsAbout New Chum Landfill
Cleanaway’s New Chum landfill closed 28 November 2025 as planned, following the final waste cell being filled. We are now moving to the remediation and rehabilitation of the site, enabling an ecosystem of new vegetation and wildlife.
The closure ends 25 years of supporting urban renewal in South-East Queensland cities and towns by managing construction and demolition waste that couldn’t be avoided, reused or recycled.
