This far-reaching guide provides professionals of various disciplines with fast, easy access to authoritative information on source reduction, reuse, recycling, composting, contaminated soil remediation, incineration, and medical waste management. It also presents the latest developments on bioreactor landfills, wetland mitigation, remediation of landfills, waste management-related health and safety, and financial issues affecting the industry.

- Planning, marketing, and quality con trol for reuse and recycling facilities
- Health, safety, and economic issues related to composting
- Risk assessment of contaminated lands
