RE: [greenyes] Stakeholder input to EPA

["Reindl, John" <Reindl@no.address>]

Hi Ric ~

Can you send us out details on how we can provide input to this process via
email or letter? There are some interesting European reports that put an
economic cost on the externalites of handling solid waste, including some
data on specific materials.

Thanks,

John Reindl, Recycling Manager
Dane County, WI
