Waste Management and Sustainability Planning

Innovative and Sustainable Solutions

SAIC's philosophy for solid waste management planning is simple: we help customers significantly reduce their solid waste through innovative, yet sustainable, solid waste management strategies and technologies. Realizing that a portion of the waste stream may not be able to be reduced, reused, recycled, or composted, SAIC's technical experts evaluate and assist in implementing state-of-the-art technologies, such as waste-to-energy (WTE), conversion systems and biostabilization landfills, to find innovative solutions.

Industry Expertise

SAIC offers extensive experience in all aspects of solid waste management planning, including waste characterization, waste forecasting, wastershed mapping and analyses, and feasibility studies. Technologies, programs, and facilities addressed include recycling, waste reduction, transfer stations, materials processing centers, WTE facilities (both mass-burn and refuse-derived fuel), and landfilling, including ash and construction debris monofills. We emphasize creating plans that are technically sound, sustainable, and can be easily implemented.
