A Guide to the New Waste360.com

As you’ve likely noticed, Waste360.com has got a new look and feel. The new Waste360.com has been in the works for more than a year. We’ve previewed a beta version of the site in recent weeks, slowly escalating the number of readers viewing the new site.

As of today, all users are now experiencing the new Waste360.com.

There are some features we wanted to make sure you’re aware of as you engage with the new platform.

You will notice an improved layout.

Our home page has two scrolls. On the left, you can scroll recent headlines. The main body of the page is also scrollable, showcasing the latest top stories, key industry topic sections, the latest headlines in our Need to Know section and featured media.

On each story page, when you get to the end of one piece, a new one will automatically load. And the list of headlines on the left side of each story page is also scrollable.

We’re also excited to bring you seamless navigation between Waste360.com, the new Waste360 Marketplace, the annual WasteExpo event, and Waste360 University. Through the “Discover” bar the top of the site, you can move between each of these platforms.

In addition, Waste360.com will now deliver you the same experience no matter what device you are accessing us on. The site is optimized with a responsive design that delivers you the optimum experience no matter whether you’re looking at it on a computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone.

Our site remains organized in the same key industry topics as it has been in the past. A list of these topics is available in the menu located at the top of the site, pictured below.
