Third Residential Recyling Event in Dallas, March 28-3

DETROIT (Scrap Monster): Recycling officials from around the country and around the world will converge on Dallas in March.

The Residential Recycling Conference will convene for its third annual gathering at the Gaylord Texan on March 28-30, 2012. The nation's premier recycling conference features municipal recycling leaders, executives from privately owned recycling companies and leaders from non-profit groups and associations. The two-and-a-half-day event includes more than 25 speakers, an adjoining exhibit floor featuring the latest recycling technology and equipment, networking receptions, classes to earn professional education credits and a tour of a nearby recycling facility.

Waste & Recycling News and Republic Services Inc. are the co-organizers of the Residential Recycling Conference.

"I love the RRC because it is singularly focused on residential recycling. It's a business that deserves special emphasis, given its complexity and reach into our daily lives," said Brennan Lafferty, publisher of Waste & Recycling News. "Our attendees make great connections with their peers, and exhibitors consistently tell us that they are now doing business with someone they met at the RRC."

The general session is a diverse mix of panel discussions and singular presentations. Highlights include a panel on the challenges of recycling in apartments and other multi-family locations, a session on educating community residents using schools and social media, and a discussion on how recycling managers can maximize the prices they receive for their collected material.
