A Certified Georgia Master Composter, Mr. Dunlop has extensive expertise in developing and executing innovative waste management strategies, managing multi-million-dollar contracts, developing grant proposals, and securing grant funding for capital projects. He’s also proficient in budget administration and financial oversight, familiar with the procurement process from RFP development and proposals review through contract development and project implementation and management.
He has used his circular economy experience to lead cross-functional teams, implement policy changes, and build community engagement in ways that motivate behavior change.
Prior to becoming a consultant, he was Waste Reduction Administrator and Commercial Recycling Specialist for over 12 years with Athens-Clarke County, GA, where he achieved results by building and leading award-winning teams, finding consensus and emphasizing community partnerships – always with measured outcomes. He also identified and secured grant funding to improve infrastructure and leverage operations.

He was also a trainer for multiple solid waste planning workshops, empowering local governments to craft their own successful plans.
