Regional Networking Meetings

DPPEA invites you to a series of networking meetings for solid waste and recycling staff in November and December. These meetings offer a great chance to learn from your peers about recycling initiatives, markets for materials, program costs, and other issues. They will feature open discussions in the morning followed by optional afternoon tours of recycling facilities, with lunch included in between. As an extra incentive to attend, DPPEA staff will have free RE3 and Recycle Guys stuff available. Please join us at one or more of these events (see the note on registration below):
