About EDS

Environmental Diversion Solutions came into existence just as various technologies began to emerge that would convert waste to energy and breakdown organic waste into usable materials as economically viable alternatives to landfill and commercial incineration facilities. Using these technologies in combination with existing tried and true methods of recycling and waste management, we custom design advanced environmental and waste diversion programs and projects that support environmental compliance while enhancing the bottom line and converting problem waste streams into manageable and often valuable by products.

EDS Philosophy

Environmental Diversion Solutions, as the name implies, is a solution based company that looks to implement financially viable waste and recycling systems and programs for a wide variety of commercial and municipal clients. Looking at each client’s unique needs, we analyze existing program operations, evaluate current and projected needs, conduct a cost benefit analysis, and then design a program that addresses these needs using the best available technology, equipment, and financing options.

We make sustainability economically viable.
