The prime objective of this Discharge Your Obligations (DYO) Conference, was as previously, is to provide a venue for contentious issues to be openly debated without hinderance. Knowing the nature of the real debate can often lead to substantial benefits for operators seeking to find their way through the mass of new legislation and solutions. With ever increasing expectations from the public and from regulatory authorities, the use of improved technical solutions for waste management, newly available in the market place, was essential. Choices extended to both equipment and scientific techniques. Considering advances in these fields and assessing how they might assist in the pursuit of better standards, within a realistic commercial framework, was the principal theme of this year's conference.

This conference addressed the topic of Change as a major issue. Contributions were received from Canada, the USA, Poland, the Netherlands and Denmark. Topics covered included waste disposal alternatives, landfill liners, landfill gas utilization, international case studies, leachate treatment options and monitoring.
