Note from the editor
A major focus in my reporting at Waste Dive has been contamination from per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), and how the waste industry is grappling with their disposal. Last month, we published a three-part series looking at how the landfill, incinerator and organics sectors are approaching this complex and challenging issue.
This coming Friday at 8:30 a.m. ET, my colleague Cole Rosengren and I will be discussing that series and the broader issues PFAS pose for the U.S. waste industry. You can register for the event here — please feel free to come join us and bring any questions you might have
Campaign finance disclosures show Waste Management, Republic Services and the National Waste & Recycling Association, among others, have been active leading up to the Nov. 3 election.
Public companies are increasing their focus on diversity and inclusion, from the frontlines to the boardroom, following national attention on racism. Nearly 74% of sector executives or senior managers are White males, per federal data.
Executives reiterated cost saving expectations following the marathon deal process, highlighted incremental volume improvements, shared ESG spending updates and discussed the potential effects of a Biden victory.
The second full quarter to reflect the pandemic's effects showed ongoing volume recovery among multiple categories, but a possible plateau. Catch up on results from Casella Waste Systems, Covanta, Waste Connections and Waste Management.
