Contact
Send us a tip, a correction, or a question.
We read everything that comes in. We don't always reply quickly — this site is run by people with other jobs — but if you have caught us being wrong, we want to know.
Use the form below for general inquiries, tips, corrections, and reader questions. If you are emailing about a specific article, please mention it by title in the subject line — it makes our triage much faster.
What we like hearing about: corrections to anything factual, tips about local disposal options we have not covered, questions about specific waste categories, and stories from people working in this field. What we mostly ignore: marketing pitches, requests for paid placements, and unsolicited press releases. (See our editorial ethics for the longer version.)
Other ways to reach us
For mailing physical things (printed documents, archival material, the occasional press kit we did not ask for), use our PO box. Email the editors through this form first for the address — we don't publish it openly to keep the volume manageable.
For corrections we should know about urgently — anything that could mislead someone into mishandling regulated material — please mark the subject line "URGENT CORRECTION" and we will get to it the same day.
