SWANA and its MOLO courses have become the industry standard in landfill operations courses in North America and beyond. Passing the MOLO test and obtaining the Landfill Operator certification signifies a level of knowledge and understanding recognized by colleagues and regulatory agencies. Some jurisdictions, such as Washington State, even require their landfill operators to be MOLO certified.

SWANA has some fantastic instructors teaching their MOLO courses, some with decades of experience as landfill managers, operators, and engineers. Great West is fortunate to have a SWANA certified MOLO instructor (Michelle Langdon) on staff. She has taught throughout the western states and most recently taught at the Colombian Virtual Training Center on Landfills. Michelle spent the first decade of her career as an on-site engineer at an Oregon landfill, learning from and working with operators, giving her firsthand experience and knowledge of the planning and operational issues landfills encounter. Michelle applies and shares these experiences and knowledge in her teaching.

SWANA makes taking the MOLO class and becoming MOLO certified convenient by offering the course in many formats. In addition to national and regional training centers, companies, facilities, and jurisdictions can host their own MOLO class or have the class taught at their site.
