_Testimonial
"Patrick Navin from Iolar assisted Council in the investigation of a variety of issues regarding the operation of our landfill and transfer station. 

He undertook a systematic review and readily identified opportunities for improvement in landfill operations and environmental performance. 

Patrick also highlighted the need to commence planning for waste disposal contingencies as Council's landfill was nearing capacity.  

He then assisted by investigating off site disposal options and played a significant role in the procurement, including leading complex negotiations, of a waste transport and disposal contract that will support Council’s operations into the future. 

Patrick has a unique ability to quickly apprise himself and others on waste and resource recovery facility operations, and in formulating options for improvements and efficiency gains. 

I would have no hesitation in recommending Iolar for any waste management or resource recovery consultancy solution."
