Waste management technology is quickly evolving. The challenges of rising labor, equipment and operation costs, ever-more regulations and always more demanding customer expectations force the technology to adapt or die—and for those in the industry to keep pace along with it. "Change is constant” is true in waste management, just like in other industries.
