Solid waste management can be much more involved than having the local trash hauler transport your waste to the landfill. Industrial wastes may be hazardous or non-hazardous. Disposal costs for hazardous waste streams are usually considerably higher than for similar non-hazardous waste streams. RMA assists clients with proper waste determinations that in some cases save companies tens of thousands of dollars per year. It is also prudent to audit a landfill before sending waste to it. One third-party landfill audit that RMA performed revealed potential six-figure liabilities to the client. RMA municipal solid waste managment services include collection system analysis, rate studies, contract services, contract review/ negotiation, safety programs, equipment specifi-cation / maintenance, environmental monitoring & remediation, and landfill / transfer station design & construct.
