WasteCap NE to Host Summer Lecture Series

Mark your calendars for WasteCap Nebraska’s first Summer Lecture Series!  With funding from NDEQ, WasteCap will be hosting four webcasts this summer concerning various environmental issues affecting business.  We have developed a dynamic line-up of speakers on topics including hazardous waste management, energy conservation, solid waste contracting and chain of custody issues when recycling electronics.

These webcast events are designed to reach a larger geographic area in Nebraska and around the country with important environmental information impacting their business.  According to Carrie Hakenkamp, Executive Director of WasteCap Nebraska, “using the latest technology allows us to offer this training to businesses throughout the state that would not have otherwise been able to participate.  This allows us to expand our reach in Nebraska without added travel expense and makes it very convenient for businesses to attend the seminars from their own desk.”

All presentations are on Wednesday afternoons from 1pm to 2:30pm Central Time.
