Monitoring and Measuring Our Success

The City of Alexandria and AlexRenew share a goal of protecting our waterways. Our onsite laboratory conducts approximately 24,000 analyses annually to ensure we are meeting or exceeding environmental regulatory compliance requirements.

AlexRenew's Environmental Management System (EMS) implements best management practices for pollution prevention, waste management, regulatory compliance, and hazard mitigation to reduce incidents while improving AlexRenew’s reputation, regulatory performance and environmental footprint. We include EMS and Stormwater Awareness Training in new hire orientation, and all employees receive annual refresher training to recognize, prevent, and manage environmental impacts. 

Our continued commitment to environmental progress and community involvement has earned us the highest possible ranking in VDEQ’s Environmental Excellence Program, Extraordinary Environmental Enterprise, entitling AlexRenew to annual permit fee discounts for water and waste permits, and public recognition as an environmental leader.
