Gail
Thomas,
OWR&R,
Program
Coordinator,
UNC
Charlotte I've
been
waiting
years
for
this
-
now
I
finally
know
what
I'm
supposed
to
do!
-
Lynn
Patzig,
Recycling
Coordinator,
UNC-A The
training
has
expanded
my
basic
knowledge
of
solid
waste
management
into
a
broader
more
advanced
knowledge.
I
feel
I
have
a
better
understanding
of
solid
waste
and
recycling.

County
Solid
Waste
Authority As
a
new
employee
in
the
field
I
thought
it
was
a
thoroughly
enjoyable
and
educational
experience.
It
presented
a
broad
spectrum
of
information
with
enough
details
to
encourage
further
inference
into
into
areas
of
interest.
It
also
put
me
in
contact
with
numerous
professionals
in
the
area,
an
invaluable
resource
ito
my
new
position.

variety
of
information
provided
in
a
well
planned
and
in-depth
manner.

Conklin,
Goodwill
Industry
of
the
Southern
Piedmont This
is
especially
a
great
way
to
train
new
recycling
coordinators
and
also
a
way
to
update
information
for
not
so
new
coordinators.
-
Lisa
Grant,
Keep
Onslow
Beautiful Very
informative
classes
to
enable
professionals

Ann
Gill,
Mecklenburg
County,
Waste
Reduction
Specialist The
program
covered
an
unbelievable
amount
of
information;
they
explained
every
area
of
recycling.
I
don't
think
there
are
anymore
areas
they
could
add.
I
learned
so
much
as
a
beginner
in
the
field.
