    WasteExpo gallery: Nothing 'trashy' about these refuse trucks and bodies

    April 27, 2018
    WasteExpo drew more than 600 exhibitors and welcomed some 13,000 participants for this 50th annual industry reunion.

    LAS VEGAS. WasteExpo, North America’s largest solid waste, recycling and organics industry event, drew more than 600 exhibitors and welcomed some 13,000 participants this week for this 50th annual industry reunion.

    And judging by how difficult it was to take photos of the latest refuse trucks, bodies and trailers without people in the frame, the market for equipment is going strong.

    For additional coverage of WasteExpo 2018, see the upcoming issue of Trailer/Body Builders magazine.
