Learn about key issues, successful projects and best management practices to create stellar waste management programs. Conference calls, in conjunction with PowerPoint presentations, will allow you to hear from experts around the country on what works, what doesn't and how to make your program more successful. The format for the calls will be a formal presentation followed by a question and answer session and discussion time.
