Since the creation of Subtitle D of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) by the US EPA in 1989, CDG has been a pioneer in solid waste consulting, landfill design, and construction management. Prior to this historic legislation, solid waste across the southeast was landfilled in unlined facilities with little environmental controls. Over the two decades since, CDG has been instrumental in advising public and private clients in the development of integrated systems for collection, reuse and disposal of solid waste. CDG plays the lead consulting role for many of these solid waste facilities still today.

The CDG solid waste team understands the importance of providing comprehensive strategies for your solid waste management programs. Our professionals have the experience, resources and knowledge to develop your concept into operational solid waste management facilities. CDG understands the capital, operating, and future costs associated with solid waste management, and integrates these cost challenges within facility planning to maximize value to your system. Our staff provides detailed direction to guide your ideas from project development through the completed project acceptance.
