Story tips, corrections, and reader questions.

The best notes we get are from people currently working the problem — a maintenance lead trying to figure out what to do with a pallet of exit signs, a body shop wondering whether their airbag stockpile qualifies as universal waste, an inspector who spotted us getting a nuance wrong. All of it welcome.

We read everything and respond to most inquiries within a week. If you need an urgent answer about a specific waste stream on your site — please call your state agency, or a licensed hauler. We're a publication, not a hotline.

What we publish

Reader-driven pieces are usually a paragraph or two of context plus a short list of questions. If we run something you wrote, we'll ask first, and you can be as attributed or anonymous as you'd like.
