His ability to capture relevant data, quickly grasp operational issues and identify practical solutions has enabled him to save clients millions of dollars by analyzing and improving operational techniques.

Using his broad experience, Mr. Todaro has played a key role in expanding the on-site training capabilities of BRS. He has conducted numerous training programs in North America and abroad.

Mr. Todaro’s noteworthy professional achievements include working in Papua New Guinea (twice) to provide critical oversight and operational training for a new engineered landfill. Developed by Exxon-Mobil, this landfill – outside the capital city of Port Moresby – was the first environmentally compliant landfill in all of PNG. He has served as a keynote speaker for a solid waste conference in Melbourne Australia. During this conference he gave numerous presentations on optimizing landfill operations. While in Australia he also provided comprehensive training to 30 landfill managers and addressed the State of Victoria Environmental Protection Agency regarding the proper use and benefits of landfill alternative daily cover (ADC).
