History SKB Environmental was founded in 1983 by Dorothy Bolander, as one of the first privately held demolition waste disposal companies to serve the construction industry in Minnesota. In those early years, SKB Environmental's primary function was to compliment the Carl Bolander & Sons Company demolition business, arranging cost-effective disposal services for construction and demolition (C&D) debris. Today, SKB Environmental is still a wholly owned subsidiary of Carl Bolander & Sons Company, Minnesota's premier specialists in site preparation, demolition, and Subtitle D landfill construction and closure. In 1989, we designed and permitted Minnesota's first state-of-the-art landfill for disposal of C&D waste. Typical of the company's commitment to environmentally responsibility, the Rich Valley Landfill is the first clay lined C&D landfill with leachate collection in Minnesota. In fact, it is one of a handful of C&D facilities in the nation that combine such rigorous design features with stringent operating practices and groundwater monitoring - becoming a model facility for the C&D industry. Our commitment to environmental protection is also reflected in SKB Environmental's focus on recycling economically recoverable concrete, brick, block, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, corrugated cardboard, roofing materials, vinyl and wood waste in its operations. In the late 1990's, the first large-scale state-of-the-art C&D processing facility in Minnesota's Twin Cities Area was installed at our Malcolm facility in Minneapolis. Today, SKB Environmental's recycling operation has grown to a regional Integrated C&D Recycling system consisting of multiple locations and recycling and processing capabilities. During the 1990's, SKB Environmental developed a yard-waste composting operation that became the largest in the Upper Midwest. SKB Environmental also pioneered the first Organic Waste Compost Facility in Minnesota. These facilities are still operating successfully today.
