Resource Recovery Projects

As advocates for the move towards a circular economy, ASK has an energetic interest, coupled by proven experience and extensive industry knowledge, in resource recovery projects.

We have widespread experience assisting customers to increase the level of resource recovery within their communities to target many materials including:

• Packaging materials;

• Food organics and garden organics (FOGO);

• Greenwaste;

• Crushing and reuse of concrete and inert wastes;

• Household Hazardous Waste (HHW);

• Metals Recycling; and

• Problematic Wastes

We assist the introduction of such initiatives by developing Project Proposals, Budgets and Management Plans, and assisting with grant and funding applications to state and federal governments.

When introducing new resource recovery services, it is important to consider many factors such as material quantity, cost of collection processing and transport, market value and market stability.

ASK is particularly knowledgeable in the establishment of FOGO systems in local government arenas including:

• Reviewing industry capabilities, locations and capacity;

• Assessing alignment to strategic objectives;

• Completing FOGO service evaluation, development and implementation;

• Developing and assessing collection contracts and tenders;

• Developing innovative solutions and options;

• Assessing options for economic, environmental, governance and social impacts; and

• Developing clear practical recommendations.
