Events, Workshops and More:
California Resource Recovery Association Conference in Burlingame
Join CRRA (California Resource Recovery Association) in Burlingame for its 32nd annual conference and tradeshow. This year's event will be at SFO Airport Hyatt Regency in Burlingame on August 3 - 6, 2008. This is California's premier event for professionals engaged in the recycling and waste reduction field. CRRA attendees come from local governments, state agencies, non-profits, consulting businesses, collection and hauling companies, and businesses that supply the industry with the tools and services that are needed to reduce waste and recycle more. They are engaged in developing and managing programs for reuse, recycling collections, organics, construction & demolition recovery, electronics, household hazardous waste, and other environmental services. In addition, attendees are involved in the creation and formation of governmental policies and educational outreach campaigns that highlight consumers and companies making a difference in climate change through zero waste and waste reduction activities and who realize that our environment is not a game we can lose.
