Nearly 4,000 County government officials and staff convened in Charlotte July 10-13 at the annual convention of the National Association of Counties (NACo) where ISRI hosted a workshop as a Premier Corporate Sponsor.
The recycling workshop covered the subject of establishing
partnerships between county government and the industry. Steve Levetan, Sr. VP
of Pull-A-Part and the executive director of the GA Association of Counties,
Ross King, presented on the value of working together to achieve lasting
results and solutions for countywide problems. Levetan spoke to the fact that
scrap is not waste and how county government can benefit from making this
distinction in its regulations. King and Levetan also shared the secret
of their success with winning over the Georgia congressional delegation for
support of enactment of the Superfund Recycling Equity Act. The workshop was
the first of its kind at this NACo event.
