With the ability to participate in the Municipal Measurement Program opening up in 2017, the City was quick to join and contribute its annual data. Co-panelists from the City will address how solid waste & recycling data have been useful in making material management decisions for their community and the important role that benchmarking & standardization plays in communicating with citizens & policy makers. Re-TRAC Connect will demonstrate the comprehensive suite of analytical reports that counties & solid waste districts are using to assess municipal program performance & address their material management challenges.
