What We Do Mostly we work with schools on behalf of local government to minimise waste to landfill and improve resource recovery systems. We also: Design and implement zero waste programmes Provide cleaner production services Conduct waste audits for schools, businesses and local government Assist with carbon zero projects Work to reduce climate change through tree planting Manage behaviour change programmes EERST runs environmental programmes and waste assessments for schools, councils and businesses. We speak directly with community groups and work with local councils to give practical, simple solutions to their waste problems. Aside from pumping hundreds of thousands of dollars directly into the community, the trust cuts environmental, financial and social costs associated with waste.
