The Expo exists to serve the NSW market directly.

Rather than a generic national trade show, it is built around the specific buyers, projects and policy pressures facing NSW councils, infrastructure owners, waste operators and resource recovery businesses, and brings them together with the technology providers, consultants and innovators who can help them deliver.

Who's exhibiting

Equipment makers, technology suppliers and service providers, showcasing heavy machinery and technology with Live Equipment & Technology Demonstrations. Sourced for contract renewals, kerbside collection and FOGO rollouts.

Who's buying

A qualified, senior audience: operators, MRFs, engineers and consultants. Every year, councils, government agencies, hospitals, universities and infrastructure owners spend billions of dollars on waste and recycling services
