Weaver Consultants Group (WCG) understands the major role landfills play in supporting communities to decarbonize and has assisted many clients in identifying and managing sites to continually play a positive role in mitigating climate change, supporting local economic growth, and providing social and environmental value.

WCG has assisted several landfill clients with their sustainability objectives where we:

• Evaluated site carbon footprints and implemented sustainability plans to meet long-term carbon reduction planning goals.
• Provided landfill gas (LFG) composition analysis to demonstrate the economic feasibility of supplying a renewable and sustainable source of energy.
• Worked with communities and local councils to inform, educate, and achieve community support for landfills’ role in sustainability.
• Investigated the carbon credit potential for our clients, where we evaluated the carbon credit feasibility of LFG collection and control systems.
• Assisted in various aspects of carbon credit gap analysis and program development.
• Coordinated planning for landfill final closure and helped demonstrate a sustainable solution, providing environmental and community value, where our ecologists and engineers provided practical support throughout the process.
