We are an independent waste management consultancy offering expertise and advice to both the public and private sectors throughout the UK. Unlike many other environmental consultancies, we specialise purely in waste management. This means that our knowledge of the waste management industry is concentrated specifically on issues that you want to know about.

Our expertise includes the successful planning, implementation and co-ordination of all waste management operations from procurement to waste audits, from joint working to project management, and from waste strategies to interim management.

Making waste management operations efficient and cost effective requires careful strategic planning and informed decision making in both the public and private sectors. Demanding waste management legislation, government targets and ever increasing public awareness make this task increasingly challenging, and recent government announcements to cut public expenditure create added pressure to streamline already limited budgets.

Gordon Mackie Associates is a market leading consultancy, providing support to achieve best value in all waste management operations. Acquiring expert advice can be invaluable where organisations possess a specific lack of expertise, knowledge, time or even personnel. Often, our involvement in project work results in the achievement of considerable savings over the long term, and never has this been more imperative than in the current economic climate.

We appreciate that our clients often have complex situations to address, and therefore there is rarely an ‘off the shelf’ solution to any given problem. Our strengths include being able to identify needs and discuss aspirations, resulting in the provision of a customised service utilising creative and often innovative solutions to existing problems. Our support can even help highlight and tackle issues that may have not yet arisen.

Our dedicated, qualified team of consultants have a proven track record in this specialised field of waste management, and we always ensure we keep abreast of new developments and changing legislation within the industry, utilising the most appropriate sustainable solutions to ensure our valued clients receive the optimum benefit from our endeavours.

We would welcome your feedback, so please feel free to contact us should you wish to discuss any of your individual waste requirements with us. We look forward to being of assistance.
