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 p...lanning, 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.
