With his extensive waste management industry expertise, [MSW Consultants President] Walt Davenport developed a methodology and implemented a system that has enabled us to equitably provide waste management and recycling access to tenants with an equitable charge-back structure across our twelve-mall portfolio. Walt clearly possesses the operational and financial know-how to solve out-of-the-ordinary waste management needs such as ours.

In a time of financial shortfalls and increasingly limited local disposal capacity, [MSW Consultants principal] John Culbertson provided us with an excellent overview of long term waste disposal options and performed the detailed analysis needed to create a system benefit charge that will place Frederick County's solid waste system on firm financial footing. Equally important, John helped us present the results of the analysis to the County Commissioners in a clear and concise manner.

MSW Consultants was diligent in representing the County to ensure funds would be available for the next ten years to sustain County initiated integrated waste management programs. I highly recommend MSW Consultants...as the were very conscious of our needs and I trust they would be for any client.
- Duane Dellecker, Director, Carbon County Dept. of Solid Waste
As a result of MSW Consultants' professional expertise and their ability to deal effectively with the general public and elected officials, Liberty County's solid waste financial performance has gone from an annual deficit of over $600,000 to a net annual surplus, placing the County on firm footing to plan and implement future program improvements to better serve our customers.

I want to thank you again for the excellent work you and your team provided on behalf of the Department in undertaking the Iowa Statewide Waste Characterization Study...I have received positive comments from Iowa's solid waste management community and the participating landfills and transfer stations in particular.
- Tom Anderson, Executive Officer II, Iowa Department of Natural Resources, Land Quality Bureau
MSW's staff were professional, responsive, and thorough in their efforts. Their ability to communicate effectively with all levels of the City government, including city management, public works management, legal counsel, union representatives, and operations staff, greatly enhanced the acceptance of their work. I would work with MSW Consultants again in the future, and highly recommend them to any local government needing to improve operations or cut unnecessary costs.

If you haven't had your waste sort yet let me assure you it is painless. Susan and Cynthia were here this morning, set up and quickly sorted the waste, tore down, cleaned up and were out in less than 90 minutes. All I had to do was open the door and let them in. I am looking forward to seeing the results!

The
Northeast Recycling Council has been among the nation's leading organizations
at recognizing and measuring the economic benefits of the recycling and reuse
industry. NERC first conducted a regional Recycling Economic Impact
(REI) study in 2000. In 2008, MSW Consultants was on a project team that
updated the 2000 REI Study for five Northeast states: Delaware, Maine,
Massachusetts, New York and Pennsylvania.
The
research for this project was extensive, spanning 26 distinct industry
sectors. These industry sectors were grouped into three major
subgroups: true supply side recyclers (i.e., organizations that directly
collect recyclables and/or process/broker materials back to manufacturers in
feedstock form); demand side industries that are reliant on recycled feedstocks
to manufacture their products; and reuse organizations. Research methods
included use of Census Bureau data, state and trade-association specific
research, and direct surveys of certain industry sector organizations.
MSW
Consultants was primarily responsible for the economic research needed to
complete the analysis for Pennsylvania, as well as direct surveying of most of
the reuse sector across all five participating states. This research
included surveying entire industry sectors (or in some cases, a representative
sample) within Pennsylvania for assigned sectors. MSW Consultants
completed over 1,200 surveys of public and private sector organizations.
MSW
Consultants contributed to the development of the final report and provided
quality control throughout the project in collaboration with the prime
contractor.The final report is available on the NERC website.
