About This Group

Mission

The Solid Waste Management Committee serves its members by supporting APWA’s role as the recognized leader in public works by providing its members with the resources for exchanging and developing ideas, information, skills, knowledge, and technologies for the operation, management, and maintenance of solid waste facilities.

The committee fulfills its mission by using a network of APWA chapter liaisons, the Solid Waste Management Knowledge Team, and other resources, such as publications found in the APWA Store.

Resources for Members

The Resource Center has a collection of resources focused on solid waste management, recycling, and composting. Items include recorded sessions from past PWX sessions, past Click, Listen & Learn webinars, APWA Reporter articles, and other programs and tools created by the Solid Waste Management Committee.
