Welcome to the inaugural issue of The Truth About Trash. It turns out that trash, garbage, solid waste, MSW – whatever you call it – can get controversial at certain times. Mostly, if it gets picked up on time there’s no problem. But try and site or build a new facility, change the collection methods, change how costs are recovered, and a hornet’s nest is uncovered.

Value Added Consulting specializes in strategic planning for solid waste programs, and this blog will also provide timely and relevant updates.
