Mechanical Biological Treatment (MBT) and Other Organics Conversion Technologies (WasteExpo 2021)

Solid waste collection, recycling, disposal and landfill operations are subject to controls at the federal, state and local levels and are a frequent object of private and government lawsuits and enforcement actions. Private parties seeking damages from landfills and other facilities for nuisance are a significant financial threat. In this session, attendees will learn what lawsuits the solid waste sector is facing, how to minimize liability, when the industry can bring lawsuits to challenge overreach in the regulatory arena from local and state governments, what challenges to flow control laws are available following the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2007 United Haulers decision and more.
