Knight challenges Govt on asylum seekers waste dumping

Knight says the company should set up a proper incinerator to get rid of its waste.

Waste from the processing centre is being buried in holes dug on a piece of land at the Salami area of Manus.

A man who occupies the land has given permission for the company to dump waste there.

Knight says waste such as oil from vehicles, grease traps, sewage, food and many others are being dumped there.

He believes over time the waste dumped will contaminate water sources for people in the area.
