PROP Announces 19th Annual Recycling Conference In Scranton July 28-31

The Professional Recyclers of Pennsylvania announced this week it will hold their 19th Annual PROP Conference in Scranton from July 28 – 31, 2009 at the elegant Scranton Hotel & Convention Center. This year the conference will feature a Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful Mini-Summit and Awards Luncheon.

 

Located in the heart of Scranton, the Hilton is the “ideal facility for recycling and organics professionals from across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and across the nation to gather for networking while learning the latest innovations from top notch exhibitors and presenters,” noted John Frederick, PROP Executive Director.

 

He encouraged industry professionals to sign up early in order to take advantage of low rates on registration and hotel accommodations.

 

Among the networking opportunities being planned by the PROP staff and conference committee are a PROP Picnic at PNC Field in Scranton. Coming off a Triple A championship baseball season, Governor’s Cup winning Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees will take on the Durham Bulls.

 

PROP sponsorships are now available for this not-to-be-missed night, with special packages for throwing out the first pitch and other unique sponsor opportunities. Interested sponsors should call the PROP office right away for the best package selection.

 

Always hard-hitting, this PROP conference opens with “The Complicated Marketplace,” a plenary session focusing on the recent dramatic developments in our recycling markets. Other special sessions include the College & University Workshop, Recycling Film Festival as well as Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful Mini-Summit and Awards Luncheon.

 

As always, PROP, in conjunction with The Pennsylvania State University, will conduct Professional Certification classes for recycling professional continuing education credits. Other educational sessions will be offered during this well-attended event.

 

PROP represents Pennsylvania's recycling and solid waste professionals as a nonprofit organization dedicated to the promotion and enhancement of recycling and recycling programs across the state through education, information exchange, technical support, applied research and coordination of recycling industry and market development initiatives.

 

PROP is the state's affiliate to the National Recycling Coalition with a current membership of nearly 700 recycling, composting and solid waste professionals representing both the private and public sectors.
