As a company, Southwaste promotes a culture that places the highest priority on Safety and Compliance.

Safety

To operate in today’s environment, Safety is more than a goal, it’s a fundamental business ethic. Through a rigorous hiring process, comprehensive training and continuing education, Southwaste’s focus is to put the most highly qualified, trained and motivated personnel in the field as possible. From driving skills to equipment operation and service techniques, our personnel are trained to both foster and operate in the safest manner and environment possible.

As such, our equipment receives regular maintenance and prompt repairs. Each technician is an expert in the operation of the equipment they use. Every truck is equipped with all necessary safety equipment and personnel have received extensive training in both the set-up and removal of equipment at the job site.

It is our absolute belief that prompt and thorough service is only part of the equation. Creating and maintaining a safe environment is paramount to the well-being of our employees and customers.

Compliance

The Compliance responsibility assumed by Southwaste encompasses both the Company’s operations as well as that of our customers.

The regulatory environment is growing more stringent by the day. Southwaste welcomes this level of oversight to ensure that our industry is made up of only quality operators that adhere to all governmental regulations and mandates. In essence, we seek a level playing field that makes environmental stewardship a requirement for all.  

Throughout the year and on a regular basis, Southwaste is subject to regulatory inspections, registrations and renewals. All of our operations, including both collection and disposal, are subject to rigorous oversight at the local, state and federal level. Because of our focus on Compliance, Southwaste has maintained an excellent Compliance history and is considered an industry leader in the area of Compliance.

Just as we take our own Compliance seriously, we treat our customer’s Compliance in the highest regard. With issues such as timeliness of service, chain of custody and record keeping, we are focused to ensure that our customers steer clear of any regulatory sanctions. Your business is challenging enough without the headache of concerning yourself with trap management and Compliance issues. At Southwaste, we take the burden off you and assume that responsibility completely.
