Planning and Project Development

Turning challenges into opportunities is the focus of our Waste Resource Engineering program.

Draper Aden Associates assists our clients in defining their waste management programs, conducting due diligence on existing and proposed facilities targeted for acquisition, performing economic analyses, organizing regional partnerships and authorities, and developing short-term/long-term implementation strategies.

We understand both the challenges and complexities represented by both ends of the waste management spectrum, working with owners generating from 25 to over 3,000 tons of municipal solid waste per day. We have assisted over 200 waste facility owners/operators evaluate, plan and implement their waste management programs.

Waste facility operators must contend with a wide array of regulations and emerging issues related to waste volume reduction, commodity market fluctuations, budget limitations, greenhouse gas emissions and reporting, and a wide range of regulatory requirements. We can help you find solutions to these challenges.
