Topics

Solid waste and recycling professionals are suddenly being looked to as one of the core groups to “green up” our governments, facilities and businesses, with the goal of making our communities more “sustainable”. Solid waste management has changed a lot in the last decade; but, moving forward, how is the “Strive for Sustainability" concept going to influence solid waste management and recycling? Below are a few suggestions for speaker topics; but, other ideas are certainly welcome to advance solid waste and recycling in the world of climate change.
