Recycling Markets Workshops
Increasing Profit and Reducing Expenses
In 2004, five market development workshops were held
as a networking opportunity and information exchange for local governments, waste
haulers, and major local businesses around Minnesota.
Each workshop was tailored to the region in which it was held.
Topics of discussion included:
- Local markets for plastic, glass, paper, and some region-specific materials
- Lower cost transportation options
- Local, national, and international market trends
- Regional solid waste management trends
- Event recycling successes
- Making the case for recycling
- Electronics update
- Useful resources
