| Today’s news and insights for waste and recycling leaders
NOTE FROM THE EDITOR
This year has been busy from the jump, as GFL Environmental announced a multibillion-dollar deal, and has only gotten busier. With a new administration on its way, Waste Dive is keeping a close eye on the shifting landscape for the waste and recycling industry.
Next week, I’ll be hosting a webinar to catch you up on the latest landfill methane regulations and technologies. It’s on Wednesday, Jan. 22, at 9 a.m. ET and is free to attend. You can register here: https://wastewise.be/?p=5800
Our newsletter won’t run on Monday in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a holiday that honors a man who marched with sanitation workers fighting for better working conditions. We’ll return Tuesday with our usual coverage of the industry.
