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!
- Jenny Kedward, Environmental Specialist - Dakota County
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.

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.

Grand Teton National Park (GTNP) showcases the major peaks of the 40-mile long Teton Range and includes more than 1,000 drive-in campsites and over 200 miles of hiking trails within a 480 square mile footprint. The National Park Service (NPS), along with its two main concessioners – the Grand Teton Lodge Company (GTLC) and Signal Mountain Lodge/Forever Resorts (SML) – maintains several visitor centers, picnic sites, trail heads, campgrounds, retail shops, marinas, guest lodging, and employee housing throughout the Park. GTNP faces a number of other unique challenges. Waste and recycling receptacles throughout the Park must be bear-proof and must have sufficient capacity to avoid the potential for overflow. Extended-term Concessioner contracts, which over time could be modified to align with Zero Landfill targets and implementation requirements, turn over infrequently. Further, Park guests originate from anywhere in the world and have a wide range of expectations about recycling, waste reduction, sustainability, and environmental behaviors. MSW Consultants is currently facilitating the development of a Zero Waste to Landfill Plan for GTNP. In this role, MSW Consultants key staff are chairing the Zero Landfill Coordinating Committee, a multi-organization group responsible for boosting the Park's recycling rate from the current 20%. MSW Consultants is documenting the current materials management system, identifying opportunities for optimizing operational performance, and assisting in discussions with a corporate sponsor (Subaru of America) to identify best practices that can be applied to other national parks.
