Welcome to a new year and a new venue for waste industry news and discussion. This is The Heap, a new blog by the editors of Waste Age covering topics of interest to solid waste and recycling professionals. We hope it will serve as a more immediate and more informal complement to the in-depth analysis provided by Waste Age magazine. But what The Heap ultimately becomes will largely depend on you, the reader, as you let us know what works and what doesn’t. We encourage you to take advantage of this new technology by commenting on our posts and making this a two-way discussion.

We hope 2008 will prove a prosperous year for your family and your business. Please check in from time to time and watch as The Heap continues to grow!
