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.

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'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.
- Brian Morgan, Esq., Former Corporation Counsel, City of Poughkeepsie
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.

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!

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.

The National Park Service (NPS) manages a system that includes 408 areas covering more than 84 million acres in every state and many US territories. NPS manages the largest number of constructed assets of any civilian agency in the Federal Government, including over 67,000 structures, more than 4 million acres of maintained landscapes, 17,000 miles of trails, and more than 3,000 utility systems. NPS has set a goal to divert 50 percent of solid waste from landfills by 2015 through recycling and other practices. The National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA) is an independent, membership-based organization devoted exclusively to advocacy on behalf of the National Parks System. NPCA retained MSW Consultants to perform waste and recycling audits for three iconic national parks to kick off a pilot Zero Landfill Initiative being funded by Subaru of America. As part of this project, MSW Consultants collaborated with NPS and concessioner personnel to compile waste and recycling generation data, develop a waste and recycling characterization protocol, and perform baseline characterization studies at Grand Teton National Park, Yosemite National Park, and Denali National Park. The project included extensive analysis of material samples from guest-facing and employee-facing areas of the Parks, and identified numerous considerations for improving outreach, education, branding, signage, and a variety of program logistics. The study provided detailed insights needed to guide subsequent initiatives as the Parks pursue their Zero Waste goals.
