Improving Operations and Efficiency Since 1988
Blue Ridge Services has developed several comprehensive landfill operations and transfer station training programs. These programs provide operational training and a review of environmental considerations for site managers, supervisors, equipment operators and laborers. The training programs address safety, operations, equipment maintenance, costs and emergency response procedures. The thrust of these training programs has been to streamline overall operations and make them more cost effective. Our training has benefited over 100 solid waste managers, equipment operators and laborers at several sites.

In addition to training, we have completed safety audits, created health and safety plans, provided both high-level and in-depth operational assessments, and developed fill sequence plans, budgets, soil management plans, and more.

Our engineers have also designed and performed various testing procedures for evaluating landfill equipment and operating methods including soil use minimization studies, compaction tests, settlement measurement, cover soil add-mixtures and productivity analysis. Many of these landfill tests were done in cooperation with Caterpillar, Ingersoll-Rand, Caron Compactor Company and Waste Management, Inc.

Our team of consultants has provided consulting services for facilities in dozens of states and Canada, and our clients represent both private and municipal operations.
