If you are a student and would like to learn about sustainable materials management and network with recycling’s most experienced professionals, consider attending NERC’s Fall Conference on October 30 – 31 in Rocky Hill, Connecticut. NERC has two student scholarships for The Future of MRFs Conference that will be awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis.
At the Conference, the future of Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs) in the Northeast—the facilities where recycled items are separated and baled for markets—will be the focus. Presentations will include tips for municipal recycling services contracting, how lithium batteries and other recycled items cause fires at MRFs and how fires can be avoided, how ecommerce is affecting recycling, and tackling contamination in recycling. See the Agenda for more details.
Students interested in being considered for a Conference scholarship should contact Lynn Rubinstein, NERC’s Executive Director, (802) 254-3636.
