“The SWANA MOLO Course is the premier landfi ll training experience. MOLO has a threefold benefi t for landfi ll managers and operators. First - It is based on the federal rules (40 CFR part 258, Subtitle “D” or RCRA). Second - It is “hands-on.” Students actually visit a facil-ity to observe operations. Third, and probably most important, the interactive exchange of landfi ll practices and conceptual ideas allows students to learn from each other.”
