A holistic approach to minimising and managing waste

Tonkin + Taylor understands that each waste project presents unique challenges, including current and future demand, waste source and potential hazardous activity, disposal and recovery complexities, spatial and economic constraints, and evolving legislative frameworks and regulations.
We are passionate about supporting our clients in developing resilient waste and resource recovery systems throughout Australia. Our multidisciplinary team has the technical capabilities, experience, and dedication required to help policymakers, local authorities, and the waste industry make the right decisions to optimise their approaches to managing waste and materials under their control.
We advise on waste strategy initiatives and alternative waste treatment options, including waste-to-energy, landfill operation and design, resource recovery facility design, environmental compliance and management systems, and post-closure options for landfills. We also have an in-depth understanding of local waste and environmental requirements, ensuring projects are developed in accordance with state specifications.
We offer expertise that spans the entire waste cycle.
