Cadmium Waste
Can anyone furnish recent figures for: a) tons of cadmium waste produced from plating and b) the costs of cadmium waste disposal (in U.S.)? This info is needed for a current report.

Data of that type is in my rather dated copy of "Using Cadmium Safely", published by the Cadmium Council. Try "the-cadmium-council" on a search engine and I'm pretty sure they'll have what you need.

You're very welcome, I hope the lead works out. I see you've moved a couple of thousand miles west. I was out to your plating facilities there 8 or 9 years ago.
