Meet the Team!
The Riverside County Department of Waste Resources is responsible for the efficient and effective management of Riverside County’s solid waste system. In this effort the Department operates five non-hazardous landfills, has a contract agreement for waste disposal with a private landfill, and administers several transfer station leases. Landfill sites are in diverse geographic locations and climates, ranging from low desert areas to the mountains, which offer a wide variety of engineering challenges to keep ahead of the ongoing operational needs of a dynamic system. Stringent regulations require landfill operators to design, operate, monitor, and properly close landfills to provide protection of the public’s health and welfare. The Department ensures Riverside County has a minimum of fifteen (15) years of disposal capacity, at any time, to handle future solid waste projections.
The Department has been a national leader in the design and construction of award-winning, multi-million-dollar landfill projects such as liner expansions, closures, site support facilities, traffic and drainage/stormwater quality improvements. The Department is organized so that nearly all functions of planning, design, permitting, operation, construction management, maintaining, and supporting the landfill system are performed by in-house staff. The Department currently has over 200 employees with a current year budget at approximately $157 million. Currently, the Department employs 20 engineers, of which 9 are California registered professional civil engineers, and 17 engineering technicians and aides. In addition to landfill management, the Department provides a variety of community services including Household Hazardous Waste Collection, Recycling, Composting, Community Outreach, Illegal Dumping Clean Up, Community Clean-Ups, and Graffiti Abatement. Every effort is made to recycle and reuse appropriate items with scrupulous attention to public health and safety.
