During the dog days of summer we asked a few special pups to conduct an interview with their parent. At EWMI our pets are apart of the family and visit the office often bring up all of our spirits.

In celebration, we spoke with two special pups Bruno and Kimber. They interviewed the Technical Services General Manager Matt Smith and Soil Analyst Michael DeHaven. Both associates help Environmental Waste Minimization Inc. achieve its mission of providing superior environmental management services.
