Wes Glakas

Wes has served the solid waste industry over the past 10 years in a variety of capacities ranging from engineering, operations, and most recently in the sales and support of products and equipment.  As it relates to SWANA he serves as both the YP Rep Chair on our YP National Steering Committee as well as the Texas YP Chapter Liaison.  Wes redirected the path of a picnic basket one day, saving it from the clutches of a fatal rear load compaction and subsequent bottomless pit of gloom.  This picnic basket has returned the favor as a vehicle of tasty and memorable experiences, shaping him into a better and brighter human.  SWANA, like his picnic basket, has been a vehicle for personal and professional development, providing new lifelong connections which have and will continue to guide his career choices.  As the YP Rep Chair, he is committed to being our YP Tour Guide, connecting our future leaders with SWANA’s prolific professionals, tools, and resources as we navigate to a brighter and more sustainable future.
