CR&R


Michael Silva is a project manager and civil engineer for CR&R. He has more than thirty years of senior-level solid waste management experience with responsibility for increasing revenues, efficiencies, and profits while maximizing customer service, safety, and employee morale. His expertise is in technology development and construction management. His team developed the three-cart fully automated collection system for the City of Temecula, which has since become the “gold standard.” He also helped design and construct the first solid waste processing facility in the country in 1992, and has since built several transfer stations and material recovery facilities. Currently in charge of CR&R’s anaerobic digestion projects, he is overseeing the building of the largest anaerobic digestion plant in the country, which will handle some 335,000 tons per year and generate in excess of 4 million gallons of renewable carbon-negative fuel. He earned BS degrees (cum laude) in both civil engineering and engineering management from the University of the Pacific, and earned an MS in civil engineering (construction management / geotechnical) from Stanford University.
