Depletion of Permitted Disposal Capacity.
Escalating Costs for Long Distance Waste Hauling and Disposal.
 
These and other factors have triggered new laws and practices to reduce the flow of solid waste to landfills. As a result, recycling has emerged as an important element of integrated solid waste management programs.

Successful recycling programs include development of Materials Recovery Facilities (MRFs) or adding material processing equipment to existing transfer stations.

MRFs and transfer stations are cornerstones of effective solid waste management and recycling programs. Look to SCS Engineers to provide the experience and expertise that communities and private haulers need to develop a successful materials recovery and recycling program.

  SCS Engineers - The Experienced MRF Team

Established in 1970, SCS Engineers is a leading environmental consultant in solid waste management. Our team of professionals has the hands-on experience in every key discipline you need for cost-effective, comprehensive services.

SCS Engineers has completed assignments on some of the first MRFs in the United States and Canada. And we have a 20 year history of transfer station projects.

We routinely address environmental concerns, regulatory issues, and the expectations of elected officials and citizens for MRF, transfer station, and other solid waste engineering assignments. Our MRF and transfer station projects range in size from 50 to over 3,500 tons-per-day and operate in a wide range of conditions. Clients in states as diverse as Maine, Massachusetts, Florida, Illinois, Colorado, Wisconsin, Washington, Oregon, Arizona, and California benefit from our understanding of the geographic, political, regulatory, and climatic influences on waste handling facilities.
