Re: [greenyes] International Waste Reduction Networks

[Anne Peters <annep@no.address>]

The professional association for solid waste and recycling public-sector 
officials here in the US & Canada of course, is the Solid Waste 
Association of North America, and would be a good place to start asking 
about what you're looking for. SWANA can be reached at 
http://www.swana.org/ and

Telephone: 1-800-GO-SWANA (467-9262)
Internet: info@no.address <mailto:info@no.address>   

SWANA's staff my know of int'l listserves.  As a member of SWANA, there 
are a number of listserves you could post your questions to; its members 
often are connected worldwide.

The International City Managers Association would be the next place to 
look, though I don't know if they have any listserves for waste issues 
along the lines of what you're looking for.  They're at http://www.icma.org.

Good luck,
