EVENT INFORMATION
EREF’s Annual Auction
Held in conjunction with WasteExpo, EREF’s Auction is its largest fundraiser. The auction is a direct result of the generosity of members of the Waste Equipment Technology Association (WASTEC) and the National Solid Wastes Management Association (NSWMA), who have donated the items that so far have raised more than $12 million to benefit EREF.

Make a Donation
The Silent Auction provides a novel way for donors to increase their booth traffic. WasteExpo attendees can bid on silent auction items as they visit participating booths in the Exhibit Hall on Tuesday. On Wednesday bid sheets are moved to the EREF booth and bidding will continue until just before the Live Auction begins.
The Live Auction is an exhilarating event! Everyone gathers at the EREF booth to enjoy food, drinks and fellowship during the Auction Reception. An Auctioneer keeps the audience members on their feet as he auctions off the donated items, which typically include trucks, compactors, balers, trips and specialty event tickets.
If your company will be exhibiting at WasteExpo 2012 and is a member of WASTEC or NSWMA and would like to donate to the EREF by participating in the Live and/or Silent Auction, please send an e-mail to .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) or download the following forms.
