Join SCS Engineers as Sponsors, Exhibitors, and Speakers at the Colorado SWANA Fall Conference held September 21-23, 2026, in Golden, Colorado. This is the region’s leading event for waste management professionals, focused on innovation, technical education, and regulatory updates. It combines professional development with networking opportunities to help industry leaders and operators advance their expertise and connections.

This year, we’re excited to announce that Chloe Lindgren and Evelyn Martinez are jointly presenting on Leveraging Technology for Smarter Landfill Operations, highlighting how innovative tools such as drones, robotics, GIS, and web-based applications can help landfill operators address challenges related to methane emissions, SEM monitoring, odor complaints, community impacts, and daily site operations. Their presentation will showcase how technology can improve communication between field staff and management, enhance operational efficiency and safety, and strengthen relationships with surrounding communities while supporting more effective environmental management. Register now for Colorado SWANA Fall Conference!

Meet SCS Engineers professionals at the 2023 EREF Quantification of Landfill Emissions Summit, October 24 & 25 in Chicago.

The Summit brings together engineers, academics, industry professionals, government personnel, and policymakers to address topics related to greenhouse gas emissions measurement at solid waste management facilities, including landfills, RNG facilities, and compost operations such as:

  • Assessments of direct emissions measurement technologies, including satellite, aircraft, drone, fixed sensors, and ground-based techniques
  • Challenges or variables that can significantly impact direct measurements
  • Comparisons of emission modeling/equations to direct measurement
  • Carbon accounting methods used to assess methane emissions
  • The current state of practice of emissions measurement

The conference is hosted by the Environmental Research & Educational Foundation (EREF).

Compounded by rising labor and regulatory costs, the three major challenges for landfill owners and operators are mitigating toxins, liquids, and greenhouse gases. Gas collection and control systems, leachate management strategies, and treatment technologies all help create efficiencies.

In our two-part educational series, we use case studies to demonstrate combinations of integrated SCADA, IIoT, drones, satellites, and Geographical information systems (GIS) technologies. Using clear, straightforward language, our panelists explain which technology is best for what and when integrating these technologies better serves your landfill’s and composting operation’s challenges and budget.

Recorded in front of a live audience who send questions to our panelists specific to their operational needs we cover monitoring, liquids, and labor challenges – with an aim to introduce new technologies that solve some of your most expensive challenges. SCS’s forums are educational, non-commercial webinars with a Q&A forum throughout; they are free and open to all who want to learn more about landfill and composting technology. We recommend these discussions for landfill and organics management facility owners/operators, technicians, environmental engineers, municipalities, and environmental agency staff.

 

View Part I focused on drones, satellites, and GIS technologies which are valuable for landfill permitting, design, and monitoring liquids and gas well conditions.

 

View Part II focused on SCADA and remote monitoring & control systems – when and why using real-time data can create efficiencies and reduce risk at your landfill and are useful for compost operations, and anaerobic digestors.
