US waste management and remediation revenues will rise 4.4 percent yearly through 2015, driven in part by stricter environmental regulations and more recycling programs. Waste collection will remain the dominant service while material recovery and remediation grows the fastest.

This study analyzes the $81.9 billion US waste management and remediation industry. It presents historical demand data for the years 2000, 2005 and 2010, and forecasts for 2015 and 2020 by service type (e.g., waste collection, waste treatment and disposal, remediation, material recovery), market (e.g., residential, government, services, manufacturing, retail/wholesale, construction and demolition) and US region.

The study also considers market environment factors, details industry structure, evaluates company market share and profiles 27 industry players, including Waste Management, Republic Services and URS.
