The Center for a Competitive Waste Industry champions efforts to restore and maintain competition in the solid waste industry of especial interest for public works directors, independent haulers, businesses using solid waste services, anti-trust regulators and recyclers.

    The Center conducts research on the impact of concentration on prices charged for waste services and on the ability of the public to expand recycling. It also investigates possible collusive conduct and helps coordinate the efforts of those interested in protecting competitive markets for waste services.

    Among the reports that the Center has issued are formal filings with the US Department of Justice opposing the mergers of USA Waste and Waste Management, of new Waste Management and Eastern Environmental and of Allied Waste Industries and Browning Ferris. It has also conducted a detailed analysis demonstrating that the increase in route densities from consolidation will not perceptibly improve collection efficiency within the concentration boundaries permissible under antitrust laws.

It has also prepared a sweeping historical review of competition and consolidation in the industry over the century, Endgame!. View Publications.
 
In progress is a major nationwide market-by-market analysis of concentration in the market for landfills and its relationship to price.
