APC celebrates 25 years in the waste management industry

In 1997 Anne Prince started A.Prince Consulting in the sunroom of her small suburban unit. Within six months APC was awarded the first and only National Recycling Audit and Garbage Bin Analysis, and the company’s future was secured. One of the pioneer specialist waste management consultancies, APC has gone from strength to strength. Waste audits and data have always been a niche part of the business in keeping with Anne’s philosophy that good data informs good decision making and the old mantra ‘you can’t manage what you can’t measure’. Over the past 24 years APC has delivered more than 1000 projects nationally for more than 350 clients.

APC is recognised by the industry, peers and clients as Australia’s best ‘Data Management & Auditing’ Consultancy continuously from 2015 to 2021. We have developed and implemented world best practice waste and recycling programs for communities and their councils nationally. In 2021 APC was ranked in the top three small waste consultancies in Australia in eight of the eleven categories in the Inside Waste Consultants Review including:

  1. First – waste auditing and logistics
  2. Second – strategy and procurement
  3. Third – technology, modelling, education, environmental compliance

APC prides itself on our client and staff retention. APC has the same four key personnel today as it did 25 years ago –Anne Prince, Jen Olsen, Matt Glendenning and Dr Ian Nivison-Smith. In addition our data analyst and waste audit leading hand have over 10 years service. This approach offers unparalleled continuity and a significant reservoir of corporate knowledge.

APC wishes to thank all its clients for their past support and aims to continue to deliver our high levels of service in the future.


We aim to provide outcomes that are well balanced, politically acceptable, socially responsible, economically viable and environmentally sustainable for current and future generations.

We have pioneered a host of innovative comprehensive solutions tailored to our clients’ needs that demonstrate best practice and achieve or exceed the outcomes our clients are seeking.

APC offers a complete range of waste management and resource-recovery services. Read more
