Integrated Waste Management
“What are the burning issues?”
Should we be looking at waste as a resource? Will we realize any savings over existing
disposal methods? Where do organics fit in? What will the long-term costs be? How much power can be generated from
garbage? What will become of our existing waste management programs? What
does the Integrated Resource Management Study tell us?
