Save The Date: 2010 Professional Recyclers Conference July 27-29

The Professional Recyclers of PA has announced their Twentieth Annual Conference that will be held at the Penn Stater Conference Center Hotel in State College from July 27 – 29, 2010.

The conference title, “Twenty Years and Zero Waste To Go” both reflects the continuity of PROP in the national recycling arena while also focusing on the primary goal of zero waste, noted Jill Reigh, PROP Communications Manager.

Reigh complimented the conference committee, chaired by Joanne Shafer, Centre County Solid Waste Authority Deputy Director, for their notable work in promoting the conference to recycling and organics professionals across the state of Pennsylvania while also reaching nationally and internationally.

The PROP Conference is widely recognized for delivering vital educational plenary sessions, Professional Certification classes in cooperation with Penn State Altoona and the Department of Environmental Protection.

Early promotion allows municipal leaders time to budget for their employees to attend the conference, where they receive vital continuing education. As the DEP stresses, education is the first step in improving recycling rates.

PROP attendees will also learn about the latest innovations in all aspects of recycling and organics from the exhibitors expected to sell out the large hall at the Penn Stater. This year will also feature outdoor exhibits with demonstrations offered daily.

The PROP Conference offers attendees and exhibitors several opportunities to build priceless networking connections with other professionals. Activities include a twilight cruise at Penn’s Cave. Other activities are highlighted on the attached conference brochure.

PROP invites anyone interested in recycling, organics and other related environmental issues to attend the conference. Daily rates are available as well as package rates and sponsorship opportunities. For further information, please visit the PROP website.
