The outsourcing of the operations and maintenance (O&M) of environmental control systems on open and closed landfills has grown in recent years as the waste management industry has refocused on its core strengths. In order to comply with environmental regulations, most landfills must provide active care and maintenance well past the typical operating life of the landfill (often 30+ years). 

AEGL’s O&M Group is focused on the successful operation of landfill environmental control, as opposed to simply the monitoring and collecting data for these systems. As a result, our clients benefit from the value-added approach inherent in a comprehensive bundled group of services. AEGL’s field staff is much broader in terms of experience and approach. The O&M Group provides the following services from its three operations centers in Richfield, Ohio, the Chicago, Illinois area, and Louisville, Kentucky:
