A new effluent disposal pit at Horsham Regional Livestock Exchange is now available to livestock transporters at the site.
Exchange manager Paul Christopher said Australian Livestock and Rural Transporters Association and Horsham Rural City Council had joined forces on the project.
“The newly installed pit will provide an opportunity for transporters to dispose of accumulated livestock effluent either at the end of their journey to the saleyards, or on their way to deliver a consignment further afield,” Mr Christopher said.
“Previously, there weren’t enough locations for transporters to properly dispose of effluent along the road network. Together, we agreed to deliver this project to effectively provide an opportunity for livestock transporters to dispose of effluent in western Victoria.”
