Rich’s expertise involves a number of different areas, but the one that is of the most interest to me is his mission to identify the best available option for each of his projects by examining all solutions, simple and complex, and often utilizing multiple disposal facilities in order to get the best price for his clients, all while assuring full regulatory compliance.
