Our team understands the challenges councils face in managing municipal waste systems, from community expectations and contamination issues to budget constraints and regulatory compliance.
We support councils to develop practical waste strategies, conduct service provision options analysis, and provide financial modelling for kerbside service changes. Our team also provide greenhouse gas emissions modelling and diversion target planning to support evidence-based decision making.
Our expertise includes FOGO implementation support, public place bin frameworks, and policy or local law development. We assist with infrastructure planning for depot locations and vehicle requirements, alongside technology assessments for smart bins and collection systems.
Data collection and analysis forms a core part of our municipal waste services, through which we provide visual and compositional audits of kerbside bins, public place bins, and transfer stations to identify contamination sources and diversion opportunities.
Our interdisciplinary expertise offers councils implementation support including tender and contract development, contractor performance reviews, and ongoing management such as facilitating monthly contractor meetings. We assist with strategy development, mid-term reviews, community consultation and engagement and development of education and behaviour change programs.
For regional and interface councils, our regional focus assists shared services and collaborative solutions can deliver economies of scale. Whether developing a new waste strategy, implementing FOGO services, or improving contractor performance, we provide tailored solutions that meet the unique needs of each council and community.
