Solid Waste Characterization

Thank You!

 

This database exists because of the vision and perseverance of its developer, Dr. Eugene Tseng of UCLA Extension's Waste Management and Recycling Certificate Program. Dr. Tseng developed the database under contract to the California Integrated Waste Management Board. Because of his high standing in the solid waste industry in California, local governments, members of the private waste industry, and solid waste consultants were willing to share information, time, and expertise and donate their resources to this project. If we had to pay for these in-kind donations, it would have cost over $2 million.

The Board would like to thank the following people for cooperating with this project. The database would not have been possible without them.
