Two Safety-Oriented Companies Join SWANA’s Affinity Program
Blue Ridge Services and Eureco Health Solutions Added to Preferred Provider Lineup

Silver Spring, MD – The Solid Waste Association of North America (SWANA) is proud to announce two additions to its growing affinity program, Blue Ridge Services, Inc. and Eureco Health Solutions.

Both local governments and private sector companies will benefit from taking advantage of SWANA’s affinity relationship with these two companies, who have been vetted by SWANA’s Affinity Program Committee and have earned the distinction of being a “SWANA preferred provider.”

Blue Ridge Services, a consulting firm specializing in solid waste operations, management, and training, will give SWANA members access to resources and training on solid-waste safety, efficiency, and more.

“We have had a long and fruitful relationship with SWANA, and our continued partnership to bring safety training to the industry is very important to us,” said Neal Bolton, president of Blue Ridge Services, Inc. “We initially developed these safety resources because we saw a great lack of nuts-and-bolts, industry-specific training. With the increasing risk of fatalities and injuries, we feel there is a growing and urgent need for comprehensive safety training.”

Eureco Health Solutions, a company devoted to promoting workplace health, offers SWANA members discounted access to commercial driver-focused Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) testing.

“Eureco Health Solutions is excited to join the SWANA Affinity Program and is enthusiastic about engaging with the SWANA community to share expertise in employee health and risk management,” said Aaron Hoffman, Eureco Health Solutions’ Managing Director. “We are proud to be supporting SWANA's goal to promote health and safety best practices in the waste management industry.”

“SWANA’s award-winning safety program takes another important step forward through the addition of Eureco and Blue Ridge to our affinity program,” stated David Biderman, SWANA’s Executive Director and CEO. “Both companies offer important products and services that waste haulers and governmental entities need to keep their workers safe. Both companies will be exhibiting at SWANApalooza next week and we hope that members will speak with them to discuss their offerings.”
