[GreenYes] Re: Value of garbage contracts in the US

[David Biddle <Dbiddle@no.address>]

Ah, reporters. If you Google ³waste industry revenues² you find plenty of
info...for 2001, revenues were estimated at around $40 billion...I imagine
for 2005 you¹re looking at closer to $50 billion.  I believe these figures
are broken out pretty well by NWIA.
