Solid Waste Management
Waste is a sign of an inefficient system. At Morrison Hershfield, our job is to recognize the savings to clients specifically and society in general, that come from improved waste management. Beginning with the avoidance of waste, through the recognition of waste as a resource, the integration of recycling, composting and recovery methods, down to the most environmentally benign disposal of the remaining residue, we offer optimized solutions.
Our professional planners, engineers, scientists, and technicians will work closely with you to develop customized approaches that meet your specific needs. We work as an extension of our client’s team and use our depth of experience to help implement solutions that are profitable and environmentally sustainable. In our approach we address financial, technical, social and environmental needs, so that the end result exceeds our client’s expectations and can stand as an example to our peers.
