Leachate Management at Singleton Waste Management Facility – Case study

Please note that registration is limited to 250 participants due to licensing constraints.


 

Leachate management is a growing challenge for regional Council’s across Australia. With increasing regulatory scrutiny, limited treatment options, and concerns around contaminants such as PFAS, many landfills are under pressure to find new approaches.

In this webinar, Singleton Council will share its firsthand experience implementing an on-site leachate treatment solution at its local landfill. Faced with restrictions on discharging to sewer and no accessible treatment facilities, the Council deployed an innovative mobile technology to manage leachate volumes effectively and safely.

Join us to hear how the solution was evaluated, licenced, and operated, and what it means for Council’s facing similar constraints.


 

This will not be a technical webinar and is suitable for Local Government employees, Consultants and Property Owners involved in the management of Leachate.
