Austin – The Solid Waste Association of North America (SWANA), Silver Spring, Md., announced yesterday that it will not relocate WASTECON, which is scheduled for Sept. 27-29 in Austin, Texas. According to SWANA Executive Director and CEO John Skinner, there are about 1,000 remaining Hurricane Katrina evacuees in the Austin Convention Center, and more relocations are planned for the next week.
