What do people say about the Handbook of Landfill Operations?

"A welcome addition to any landfill operator's or planner's library. I have not seen another comparable work with so much practical information for today's landfill manager."

"A valuable, practical guide to effective and efficient landfill operations… offers comprehensive guidance on the fundamentals of landfill operations in simple, straightforward language. ...a highly worthwhile book that is must reading for landfill owners, managers, engineers and controllers. With its resource-filled sections and extensive "nuts and bolts" information, readers will want to keep it within reach as a one-volume desktop reference."
