WHAT WE DO

Legislation

Legislation

It is critical that the experts in the field of Solid Waste Management participate in the Legislative process as laws are developed and refined.  It is a complex process that requires careful coordination, collaboration and lots of communication between stakeholders.  When we do our job well, all parties interested in an issue feel heard.
Coordinate Best Practices

Coordinate Best Practices

As an organization, we provide training for our members and find common issues that we need to address via new Legislation to improve Solid Waste Programs in California.
Solid Waste Regulations

Solid Waste Regulations

Solid Waste is a very heavily regulated industry and we support quality regulation that clarifies the regulations for implemention and compliance while still providing for local control.  This is a benefit to regulators, local governments, and businesses who must work together to safely manage, recycle, and/or dispose of solid waste in California.

State Partners

State Partners

Though we spend a lot of time monitoring the activities at the State Capitol in Sacramento and interacting with legislators and their staff through our lobbyist firm, we also coordinate a great deal with state agencies as well.  Some of the State Agencies we work with include California Air Resources Board, CalRecycle, Department of Toxic Substances Control, Ocean Protection Council, Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment and others.
