EPA Satellite
Forum: Communities: Setting Trends in Waste Prevention and Recycling
On May 1, 2002, from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM (Eastern time), the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will sponsor a satellite
forum entitled "Communities: Setting Trends in Waste Prevention
and Recycling". This program will assist solid waste managers
in establishing effective waste reduction programs. Panelists
include: Charlie Reighart, Baltimore County, MD Department of
Public Works which earned the 2001 Bronze Award for Integrated
Solid Waste Systems for the County's unique residential refuse/recycling
management system; and John Reindl, Dane County, WI Department
of Public Works who has authored over 100 articles, fact sheets,
and market directories on solid waste management. The forum
panel will share lessons learned about their own government
programs for waste prevention, and recycling. In addition to
the panelists' presentations, video clips will highlight other
successful programs and viewers can call in and ask questions.

The satellite forum will be accessible to downlink at locations
nationwide. You may organize a viewing opportunity for a few
of your colleagues, students, and local organizations, or you

waste reduction.
