Navigating the Inflation Surge

Date: Wednesday, September 21
Time: 2:00 pm – 3:15 pm ET

Inflation has hit 40-year highs. Some believe it peaked—others think it’s a longer-term trend. Regardless, MSW managers want to understand how it impacts their departments and for how long.

MSW systems need to provide high-quality services at an affordable price. Yet most of us don’t have experience managing both high interest rates and high inflation. Periods of inflation are easier to absorb if strategies are in place to adjust rates, service levels or operational efficiency to preserve funds.

This presentation will provide price data and trends to inform the audience on the outlook for inflation. We will discuss how solid waste departments are responding to current inflationary pressures and strategies for managing projects and budgets.
