JOIN US AT #2025ALTS IN SYDNEY

Landfills and transfer stations play an essential role in an integrated waste and resource recovery (WARR) industry, providing facilities for materials aggregation and separation, recovery, and final disposal, as well as being critical in times of disaster - both natural and pandemic.  Australia’s facilities are highly engineered and designed to ensure best practice.  

Sensible infrastructure planning, and continued improvement and innovation in design, operation, regulation, and safety, are all paramount for these facilities to continue to deliver the essential services and support they offer. 

Over three (3) days WMRR's 2025 Australian Landfill and Transfer Stations (ALTS) Conference will provide a forum to share knowledge and discuss opportunities, pathways, and models to drive the industry forward. Highlights include:

• An intensive pre-conference workshop on landfill fires
• Keynote panels and presentations featuring local and international industry experts 
• Ten (10) sessions covering landfill design & construction; data insights; environmental & operation challenges; transfer station planning, design & operations; landfill operations; LFG management in small-medium landfills; closure & post-closure; emerging issues & challenges in leachate; alternative approaches; and improvements & advancements in leachate 
• Opportunities to network at one of two (2) social functions - pre-conference networking drinks and the official conference dinner
• A range of industry sponsors and exhibitors sharing and showcasing knowledge and innovation in landfills and transfer stations
