LANDFILL OPERATOR CERTIFICATION OPPOSED

The Mount Rogers Planning District Commission has gone on record against legislation that would require certification of landfill operators.

A resolution passed by the organization's board this month says the local governments do not feel landfill operations would be improved by operator certification programs and that new solid-waste regulations can be enforced sufficiently by landfill managers, engineering consultants and the Department of Waste Management's regional consultants.
