Waste management has historically suffered from an image of dirty work on dirty sites carried out by poorly qualified people. It has traditionally been viewed as a public service, focused on efficient collection and disposal, and as such, it may not have been considered as a dynamic career opportunity in the past. Whilst this image may have been appropriate in an age when disposal was the main focus; dilute and disperse was the accepted “pollution control” technique and waste sites were largely unlicensed and uncontrolled, this is no longer the case and the industry can now lay claim to being one of the most dynamic and fast-changing business sectors.
