LANDFILL SA 

- Necessary and Responsible 

1.  Introduction
Landfill SA was formed in June 2006 by a group of landfill operators servicing the landfill needs of metropolitan Adelaide. This group has guided the formation of the organization to date.
 
2.  Vision
In 2010 we will:
•         be recognised as a necessary and responsible environmental management component of the state’s waste infrastructure,
•         have established high performance working relationships with the EPA, ZWSA and industry, focussed on achieving environmental best practice in landfill management,
•         play a key strategic role in the ongoing development of policy related to managing the state’s various waste streams, and
•         work toward co-operative resource recovery from the landfill when viable end markets for resources can be developed and demonstrated.
 
3.  Objectives
a.      change public profile and perception of landfills in SA,
b.      have industry input to the EPA landfill guidelines review,
c.      collaborative policy development, and
d.      stay abreast of emerging best practice (including alternatives exploration).
4.  Relationship to WMAA
Landfill SA is a Working Group of the Waste Management Association of Australia (WMAA). Landfill SA is a part of the WMAA National Landfill Division. Landfill SA has a representative on the WMAA SA Branch Committee.
 
5.  Membership
Membership of Landfill SA is open to all financial members of the WMAA.
 
A Committee of the membership of the Working Group will be elected on an annual basis. The Committee shall have a Chairman appointed by the members of the Committee.
 
Meetings of the Committee shall occur bi-monthly or more often as necessary.
 
6.  Program
