What We Do

CWMA offers a forum to assist our diverse membership in meeting the challenges and opportunities of waste management in our region.
We do this by facilitating communication and offering networking and educational opportunities for members. We provide an annual conference, ongoing technical sessions and workshops, a quarterly newsletter and e-bulletin updates.
CWMA also supports its members regarding important issues facing the industry. We serve as a local industry liaison, a member representative and we help to raise public awareness about key waste-related issues.
