MWCC First Seminar on Solid Waste Issues
October 20, 2020 : 12:00 PM (CT)
Shortly after the “Stay-At-Home” orders were implemented by many states this past spring, Burns & McDonnell hosted a virtual roundtable where local governmental solid waste managers shared their perspective on the initial impacts of COVID-19 on their day-to-day operations. Building off this well-received conversation, we propose to virtually interview a select set of local solid waste program managers, including a handful of MWCC members, to identify COVID-19 driven program operational changes that are likely to have long term beneficial impacts on individual community programs.

U.S. EPA: New International Requirements for Exports and Imports of Plastic
November 23, 2020 : 1:00 PM (CT)
This webinar will explain the new international requirements for exports and imports of plastic recyclables or scrap. In May 2019, 187 countries decided to significantly restrict international trade in plastic scrap and waste to help address the improper disposal of plastic waste and reduce its leakage into the environment. As a result of these changes adopted under a treaty called the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal, international shipments of most plastic scrap and waste will be allowed only with the prior written consent of the importing country and any transit countries, effective January 1, 2021.
