Recycled Products into Road Construction

The WA Local Government Association has received a Strategic Waste Initiative Scheme (SWIS) grant to undertake a project focusing on the opportunities for Local Governments to use recycled construction and demolition waste in road construction and maintenance.  

WALGA has commissioned consultants ARRB to undertake the Project.

The completed report can be accessed from the Towards Zero Waste website.

If you have any queries about the project, please contact Erin Fuery on 9213 2086 or efuery@walga.asn.au.
