coalition interested in solid waste issues, but had calls out to several other presenters at that time. It took a few more weeks to conrm the additional guests, she said, but now the list is complete. The new presenters include Steven Chatz, president of electronics recycling business e-End in Frederick; and Nelson Widdel, marketing and sales director of The Peninsula Compost Group LLC, which has a commercial composting operation in Wilmington, Del.
