Marshall Rabins, an Environmental Industry Associations (EIA) Hall of Fame inductee, has died at 79.

As president of the California-based waste hauling company Universal By-Products during the 1960s and early 1970s, Rabins was a leader among National Solid Wastes Management Association (NSWMA) members. Among those responsible for creating the solid waste industry's first national trade show in 1968, Rabins served as NSWMA president from 1968 to 1970.

Rabins sold his company to Houston-based Waste Management Inc. in the mid-1970's and continued working with Waste Management until he retired to Puerto Villarta, Mexico, in the late 1970's.

Rabins was nominated as NSWMA Man of the Year in 1975 and was inducted into the EIA Hall of Fame in 1986.
