Come “talk trash” with the EBC Solid Waste Management Committee!
Join industry experts for a comprehensive event exploring waste management across New England. The day will feature presentations on the movement of waste throughout the region from hauling and acceptance at transfer stations to ultimate disposal of residuals at landfills. This is an opportunity to learn about all waste handling facility types including commercial and municipal transfer stations, material recovery facilities (MRFs), construction & demolition debris processors, waste-to-energy facilities, and landfills as they highlight operational, regulatory, and capacity challenges. This event features opportunities to engage in Q&A sessions following each segment and will conclude with an interactive panel discussion, providing a forum for dialogue on current trends and future challenges in regional waste management.
The annual event is designed for professionals seeking practical insights, collaboration, and updates on the latest capacity and infrastructure developments.
