SPECIAL REPORT: Landfill Capacity
SWD's Capacity Report 2005: Stable Outlook For A Shifting Market

ISSUE: Volume 14, Number 7-8, 2004

ABSTRACT:

As any investor or sports fan knows, betting on the future is a risky business. And anticipating landfill capacity can be a speculative venture indeed. For every acre of permitted airspace, there are half a dozen that never leave the drawing board. And for every ton anticipated to fill up that airspace, there are another three that could show up to throw off capacity forecasts.
