Neal's Tip of the Week: 
Tip #13 Consider getting rid of equipment that has a low utilization point.  For many landfills, machines like a backhoe, forklift or in some cases a motor grader are used so little that it doesn't pay to own and maintain them.  It's much cheaper to rent as you have need of them.
 
 OPERATIONS-
 Where the Money Is!
Most landfill costs are related to operations: Pushing, compacting, excavating, covering, lining, capping and sucking out the gas.  Those things all cost money.
Blue Ridge Services has been developing common sense landfill budgets for over 20 years.
  • How much does it cost to operate a particular machine?  Should it be replaced or rebuilt?
  • Which days of the week make money and which don't?
  • Should you close one of the small transfer facilities or open another?

We believe that a budget should identify every cost associated with every activity.  That kind of budget becomes a tool for making decisions, cutting costs and managing the landfill.

When the economy slows down, savvy landfill managers look for ways to cut costs and retain revenues.  Don't operate blindly, let us build a practical budget for your facility. 
 
When it comes to Landfill Operations...we wrote the book 
 Thousands of copies of The Handbook of Landfill Operations have been sold throughout the U.S. and around the world.  It is the industry reference for landfill engineers, owners and operators.  With over 500 pages of practical information on landfill operations, it covers everything fom landfill siting and design to closure and post-closure.  This is the book you'll use.book cover
