Dumping Costs and Emissions from the Waste Industry (Room 103A)

The stop-and-go operation of a collection truck, combined with its return-to-base route, has made heavy-duty refuse an ideal application for the increased penetration of alternative fuels and advanced transportation technologies. The ruthless nature of the refuse duty-cycle has also made this an important testing ground for new technologies and fuels; only the strongest have survived. With so many refuse operations already adopting alternative fuels, what are the next steps in terms of technology evolution, new fuels, and other innovative options to operate smarter and reduce emissions? Hear from leading waste handling fleets on their approaches to deploying new and cleaner vehicle technology in their operations, renewable fuel production through waste diversion, reducing trips and miles driven, and other innovative approaches to improving waste collection operations.
