Decades of Solid Waste Expertise
CSC Franklin is a solid waste management consulting firm with experience spanning more than five decades. We help public agencies, private companies, and industry stakeholders navigate one of the most complex and highly regulated sectors in infrastructure. Over the years, we’ve worked across every stage of the solid waste lifecycle—collection, transfer, processing, disposal, recycling, and emerging technologies—bringing a broad, practical perspective to every engagement. Our role is to help you make sound, defensible decisions that are safe, efficient, and sustainable for the long term.
Prioritizing Safety in Every Operation
At the heart of our work is a deep commitment to safe operations. Solid waste facilities and fleets operate in demanding environments, with significant exposure to equipment risk, traffic, and environmental requirements. CSC Franklin evaluates operational practices, safety protocols, and facility design to identify gaps and opportunities for improvement. We help clients implement safer workflows, update SOPs, and align with best practices and regulatory expectations—reducing accidents, downtime, and liability.
Trusted Expert Testimony You Can Rely On
CSC Franklin is also recognized for its expert testimony in matters involving solid waste operations, safety, vehicle accidents, environmental compliance, and facility performance. With over half a century in the field, we provide clear, fact-based analysis and articulate findings in ways that are understandable to courts, arbitrators, boards, and non-technical stakeholders. Our testimony is grounded in real-world operational knowledge, regulatory familiarity, and industry standards, making us a trusted resource in disputes, negotiations, and public proceedings.
Practical, Engaging Training Programs
Training is another core pillar of what we do. Working closely with the Solid Waste Association of North America (SWANA), we provide targeted training programs for operators, supervisors, and management teams on topics such as safety, regulatory compliance, best operational practices, and contract oversight. These sessions can be customized to your facility type—landfills, transfer stations, MRFs, collection fleets, or organics processing—and are designed to be both practical and engaging. Our goal is to equip your team with the knowledge and tools they need to run safe, compliant, and efficient operations every day.
Strategic Planning for Smarter Systems
Because solid waste systems are increasingly interconnected and scrutinized, CSC Franklin also advises on strategic planning and system design. We help clients evaluate existing infrastructure, forecast capacity needs, assess technology options, and understand the financial and operational implications of different strategies. Whether you’re considering new facilities, contract changes, or system optimization, we bring nearly 50 years of lessons learned to help you avoid common pitfalls and move forward with confidence.
Committed to Responsible Waste Management
Across all of our services—safety operations consulting, expert testimony, and training—CSC Franklin’s mission is the same: to support responsible, resilient, and well‑run solid waste systems. With a half century of experience behind us, we understand that small decisions can have long-term impacts on cost, safety, and public trust. We’re here to be a steady, informed partner as you manage today’s challenges and plan for tomorrow’s needs in solid waste management.
