equipment

The equipment you will need for your community waste organisation will vary according to the type of project you are running and the sort of waste that you have chosen to deal with and whether you plan to collect it, process it and / or make new products from it.

When you are starting up your operation it will be important to ensure that you purchase or rent the right equipment.

Once you are up and running, it is essential that equipment is maintained carefully to ensure not only that the cost of repairs are kept to a minimum, but also for health and safety reasons.

This section deals with the sourcing of the equipment that you will need, how to buy it, where from and how to manage it once you have it.
