NSWMA Overview & History
NSWMA is a trade association representing for-profit companies in North America that provide solid, hazardous and medical waste collection, recycling and disposal services, and companies that provide professional and consulting services to the waste services industry.
Founded in 1962, NSWMA’s members operate in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Our members consist of large publicly-traded companies and both small and large privately-owned companies, all of which share NSWMA’s mission statement which is to:
- Promote the management of waste in a manner that is environmentally responsible, efficient, profitable and ethical, while benefiting the public and protecting employees.
- NSWMA accomplishes this mission by providing our members with educational and training opportunities, research, and federal and state advocacy capability.
