This VORS 2024 Haulers’ Roundtable focuses on sharing tips and tricks for working with customers to ensure effective SSO (source separation of organics). Whether you’re new or established, small or large, clearly identifying expectations, establishing effective channels for communication, and outlining parameters and consequences for contaminated loads are essential to success. In addition to learning from each other, specific requests for support from ANR DEC were also identified.
