OpenHour Schedule:

Monday, January 9th 8:00pm Eastern (1AM GMT): Classifying Waste

There are many different types of waste. Individuals, companies and agencies can have different methods for classifying waste types and waste streams. This affects the way we view waste and, as a society, handle it. Join us for an OpenHour discussing how waste such as landfill waste, hazardous waste and household waste is classified, and implications of the these classifications.
