Rerouting Risk: Building a Culture of Safety in Waste & Recycling

In this special National Safety Month edition of Right on Time with RouteSmart, we dive into one of the waste and recycling industry’s most pressing challenges: safety.

Host Matthew Kemeny sits down with David Biderman, industry thought leader and former CEO of SWANA, Bridgett Biggs, Senior Corporate Safety Manager at Rumpke Waste & Recycling, Tim Bath, Senior VP of Hauling at Rumpke, and Danielle Baci, Senior Client Success Manager at RouteSmart to explore what it really takes to build and sustain a culture of safety. The group also shares insights on how intelligent routing is helping crews avoid risky maneuvers—and stay safe on the job.

With the waste industry recently ranked as the fourth most dangerous profession in the U.S., this conversation is a must-listen for anyone in the field.

Why the Waste Industry is so Dangerous – and what we can do about it.
