Solid Waste Solutions is a multifaceted consulting firm, not working on "Trashy Films", but trash and films. SWS has been coordinating with cities in waste management, as well as providing film permitting services since 1999.

SWS can provide cities with a one-stop film office that abides by state regulations and local ones for those particular cities. We find it our responsibility for production companies to obtain applications with ease while keeping the residents informed and safe. We have maintained one-stop offices in Malibu, and Agoura Hills.

Solid Waste Management

SWS can aid cities in the design and implementation of recycling programs. Often this is per the Cal Recycle Laws being implemented at that period but can extend into other areas as well. SWS can also facilitate the preparation and submittal of the Cal Recycle annual reports, which are due August 1st annually. The team is also equipped to submit grant reporting, which is due August 15th.

Kimberly Collins Nilsson, the current CEO and one of the founders of Solid Waste Solutions, founded the business in 1999. With a degree in engineering, she has built a consulting firm with a small team of employees that services cities throughout Southern California. Her background in Civil Engineering created an excellent platform for her areas of expertise.

When founding SWS, Kimberly was able to create a one-stop film office for The City of Malibu. She knew the city inside and out as one of their resident engineers during the '90s. That knowledge has allowed her and her team to service the city of Malibu's bustling film industry while keeping the citizens safe from filming issues. It is SWS's intention to provide simple and effective permit processing for the production companies while taking a load off of the city's busy schedules.

Not only does Kimberly service various cities in permit services, but she and her team offer services for Solid Waste as well. The business can help implement and design recycling programs for municipalities per Cal Recycle requirements. The SWS staff has a variety of backgrounds, from computer programming, to design, to expertise in grant writing that combines to create excellent service to cities when implementing new programs.
