Landfill Equipment Operator Training
Running a safe and efficient landfill starts with skilled equipment operators. LaBella’s Equipment Operator Training program provides hands-on, site-specific instruction designed to improve safety, efficiency, and compaction performance. Our experienced trainers bring decades of field expertise and “yellow iron” know-how, and tailor each training session to your equipment, waste stream, and daily operating conditions.
Working directly with your team, we cover essential practices such as tailgate safety meetings, blade control, daily cover application and removal, progressive filling, proper positioning of compactors and dozers, and strategies to minimize the active working face while increasing compaction density. Whether you’re onboarding new operators or refreshing experienced crews, our goal is to help your team operate more safely and productively.

Lithium Battery and Hazardous Waste Training
Lithium batteries present a significant and growing safety risk across solid waste operations—from collection through processing and disposal. In recent years, battery-related incidents have contributed to numerous fires at waste and recycling facilities across North America, with increasing frequency and substantial financial impacts.
Understanding how to identify potential hazards, respond safely, and maintain compliance with OSHA and other regulatory requirements is critical to protecting personnel, facilities, and the environment. In addition, specialized training is essential for service providers managing hazardous and household hazardous waste to ensure safe handling, proper segregation, and regulatory compliance.
LaBella offers targeted training programs to support safe and effective operations. Courses can be taken at our training center, at your facility, or online to meet your team’s needs.
