In his new role, Howard is responsible for Heartland's operations supporting new and existing customers and running Heartland's company-owned facilities.

David brings years of Solid Waste industry experience to the Heartland team which will make our products, our service, and our ability to operate complete solutions stronger," said Earl Jones, CEO of Heartland. "David's operational background is essential for Heartland as we increasingly build, own, and operate facilities for our customers. He is a true team player, and I couldn't be more excited to welcome David to our team."
Prior to joining Heartland, Howard held roles for Hanover County, Virginia and Waste Management. For Hanover County, Howard held operational responsibility for public works. As a senior manager with Waste Management, Howard managed the P&L software and all aspects of daily site operations for multiple districts processing over 1.8M tons of waste annually.
"I've worked with Heartland for years as a customer and I've seen firsthand Heartland's dedication to customer support and site operations," said Howard. "I look forward to working with the Heartland team and with our customers."
