Manager’s reportIt seems like just yesterday thatwe were trying to get used towriting “2011” on our paperworkinstead of “2010,” and here theyear is already drawing to a close!For us, it’s been very much busi-ness as usual—delivering high-quality services, building for the
future and working to make a large and growing contribu-tion to the quality of life in this area.
We have just recently completed our newest landfill section,Cell 3, and are in the process of laying down a five-foot“fluff” layer right on top of the cell’s leachate collectionsystem. This is a layer of selected waste that has beenvisually screened to make sure it doesn’t contain large, solidobjects like pipes or pieces of metal, and we don’t compactit at all, so it serves as an extra cushion helping to protectthe integrity of the liner system. Our new liquids facility isnow up and running as well. It enables us to basically con-vert liquid waste to solid waste, which is then placed in thelandfill along with other municipal solid waste.
We also built new sedimentation ponds in our eastern bor-row area to establish stormwater management capability inadvance of future construction, and we converted a portionof our odor control system to a new, more environmentallyfriendly technology that employsorganic oils and does not require theuse of water.
So from the standpoint of both op-erations and strategic planning, I’mquite proud of what we accom-plished in 2011. But just as impor-tant is what we’ve been able to giveback to the community that’s bothour workplace and our home.
Our company-wide dedication to the environment andwildlife habitat enhancement is providing expanding envi-ronmental protection and environmental education forour neighbors. In November our wildlife program earnedCorporate Lands for LearningSM (CLL) recertification fromthe Wildlife Habitat Council. Our efforts in this area takemany forms, from hosting Earth Spirit programs for thecommunity, to the creation of our own on-site ChaffeeWildlife Preserve, to the ways we manage our land.
And we work to help make this a better home in many otherways as well. Our bi-annual Household Hazardous WasteDrop-Off Day enables our neighbors to safely dispose ofmaterials that just don’t belong in the landfill. Our WasteManagement Environmental Scholarships, now in their sixthyear, are helping to educate the next generation of environ-mental professionals. And our strong relationships withorganizations like Earth Spirit and Owl Facts are helping toincrease environmental awareness and appreciation for theconsiderable natural beauty of this region.
We also do our best to maintain open lines of communica-tion with the community. We dramatically improved ourwebsite this year to enable the public to learn more aboutwhat we’re doing. Our Open House & Information Fairbrings nearly 1,000 visitors each year to see how we workand enjoy what has become a festive summertime event.
While we’re all proud of these accomplish-ments, we’re also humbled by the realiza-tion that these kinds of contributions areexactly what every responsible citizenwants—to do good work, and to have apart in building a better future. So we’revery grateful to this community as well.
Everyone here joins me in wishing you thehappiest and most peaceful of holidays,and all the best in the new year.
