Waste Management is an essential service that is provided by, or on behalf of Local Government, to the community across Western Australia. 
 
Waste Management options vary depending on the needs of the community.  To effectively deliver these services, specialised skill sets are required including operational knowledge, expertise in communications and behaviour change, understanding of current legislation, policy changes and building good industry networks.
    
Waste Management is no longer cheap or easy, with more and more complex materials becoming part of the waste stream and increasing expectations from the Community and Government.  
 
WALGA’s training will assist those working in Local Government to manage waste effectively to achieve the best environmental, social and economic outcomes for their communities.

WALGA's WasteNet website is a valuable online resource for anyone interested in waste, with a particular focus on content of use to Local Government.
