Management
Managing a landfill is an important task, but managing a publicly owned landfill means Santek is accountable to many more parties outside of the regulatory arena.
Headed by a staff of certified landfill managers, Santek is local government's direct link to landfill activities. And, because a landfill is a continual construction project, Santek managers coordinate their daily activities with construction crews in order to maximize efficiency, expedite completion time, and prevent unnecessary cost overruns.
Santek also works outside of the landfill on behalf of local officials to promote understanding of the proper disposal of solid waste. Whether it's working with citizen oversight committees or testifying before Congress, Santek represents local official's best interests so they are free to address other issues.
By delegating landfill design, construction and management
to Santek, local officials are not pushed into making tough decisions that
can result in political deadlock and lost time. As the landfill owner, local
officials set landfill policies. Santek enforces them.
