This session includes presentations from Norway and Australia about 21st Century solid waste management technologies, practices, and advancements. Dulverton Waste Management operates 60,000 tonne per annum landfill and a 30,000 tonne per annum compost facility in northwest Tasmania, Australia. (1 metric tonne = 1.10231 US tons.) In 2017, the facility claimed the Waste Management Association of Australia’s Award for Landfill Excellence. This presentation notes the challenges overcome to turn this business, with many shortcomings, around to one that achieved this prestigious award. Does this sound like science fiction to you? The City of Bergen, Norway uses a pneumatic waste collection system (PWCS) to collect and dispose of solid waste. The waste is disposed of and transmitted pneumatically in underground pipes beneath city streets. The construction of PWCS can be combined with other infrastructure projects installing fiber optics or water/sewer projects.
