The WASTECON 2008 technical program is the biggest and best we have ever put together! We’ve packed every hour of every day at WASTECON with opportunities for you to meet distinguished solid waste professionals, share information and learn about the latest and greatest in the solid waste industry. With demonstrations of unique tools to help you plan for waste management in response to a disaster to a showcase of how you can develop new revenue streams to improve your financial stability to practical case studies on best practices and solutions to everyday challenges in MSW operations, this program will connect you to the people and information shaping the future of solid waste management throughout North America. We’ll also challenge the way you think by debating topics such as the effectiveness of single stream recycling, variable vs. constant landfill gas rate extraction and the compatibility of recycling and waste-to-energy. We promise a program that is dynamic, educational, challenging and thought provoking. Come to Tampa and see for yourself!
