Rose Radford, Principal

Rose Radford leads the solid waste management planning, program development, and regulatory reporting practice areas at R3. She provides strategic advisory services to cities, counties, and special districts throughout California, particularly for jurisdictions facing complex and rapidly evolving state regulatory requirements. As Principal at R3, Rose primarily practices in the greater Bay Area, where she lives, and the greater San Gabriel Valley, where she was raised.

With a strong background in research and technical writing, Rose applies her deep knowledge of solid waste, recycling, and organics regulations to help public agencies solve real-world operational and compliance challenges. Her practice focuses on guiding jurisdictions through the implementation of state law, including developing and administering programs that achieve regulatory compliance while remaining practical and cost-effective. This includes conducting comprehensive audits of hauler operational and financial performance, analyzing franchise agreements, and supporting the negotiation of agreements and amendments. As state law evolve, Rose also assists with the design and implementation of programs extending beyond hauler obligations, regularly supporting more 20+ jurisdictions on an on-call basis.
