The experts from Sadoff Iron & Metal will focus on what to look for in a recycling program: periodic review of your operations, optimal work centers, segregation of materials by size and grade, as well as pricing formulas that consider accountability of each transaction. 7:00am REGISTRATION, BREAKFAST, & NET WORKING 12:00pm LUNCH & LEARN SESSIONS 3:30pm COCKTAIL RECEPTION THE MAIN EVENT THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22: 7:00am - 4:00pm NEW EXPO FEATURES YOUR TICKET INCLUDES...
