Our technical expertise is enhanced by practical experience gained from our events recycling business Community RePaint and managing The National Household Hazardous Waste Forum and Resources North.

If necessary, we can build integrated teams to address your specific needs, for instance the recycling of organics - we have advised several local authorities on the best options for garden and kitchen waste collections addressing kerbside collections, HWRC and community composting. We have also provided waste analysis services to help plan and monitor services, as well as communications and consultation services (including advice on media relations) to ensure that new services are understood and well received.
