Recently Geoff and Brian visited many of our rural councils in South Australia to discuss how they manage their waste and recycling.

This is part of an initiative by Zero Waste S.A. and the Local Government Association to better understand the capacity and the value of recycling in country areas. One World Environmental Solutions will help provide country councils with the tools to assist them in considering the key elements required for effective curbside recycling. Along the way they have discovered some very impressive local efforts in separating and handling recyclables.

Geoff has recently been visiting our New Zealand friends and spreading the word on regional subsidiaries & resource sharing in waste management, transport logistics & systems of collection, container deposit legislation & extended producer responsibility, and diversion from landfill including food organics collection systems.

On this whistle-stop tour of the North Island he met with numerous councils and regional organisations in Wellington, Auckland and Whangarei. Meetings were also held with Members of Parliament and officers of the Ministry For the Environment. Hot topics of discussion were KPIs, CDL, Levies, and Making contracting work for all involved. Futurology was also high on the agenda. Many thanks go to the hard working team at Envision New Zealand, especially Warren Snow and Julie Dickinson, for making the arrangements and assisting Geoff on this trip.

Some councils immediately extended an invitation to come back - due to the demand Geoff is planning a return for early 2008!
