The SWANA Community

How many of you view SWANA as a community? Sure we are an association, but more importantly we are a community. A community of over 10,000 solid waste and recycling professionals where we share ideas, learn from each other, and gather together.

The SWANA network of 47 chapters throughout the United States and Canada provides you an opportunity to get involved at the local level and stay up-to-date on local regulations. Many chapters have moved their live in-person events to virtual events. You can check out the SWANA Chapter event calendar here. 

SWANA’s seven Technical Divisions provides you an opportunity to share ideas on critical topics which shape the future of the solid waste industry. When you want to find an expert on a specific issue, our Technical Divisions is the place to go.

One of the most valuable resources that SWANA provides our members is MySWANA. This online community is the place to ask questions, share ideas, and network with your fellow members. In these trying times, this is THE PLACE for SWANA members to gather together. Another benefit of being a member of a Technical Division is that you also have access to that Technical Division’s forum on MySWANA. If you haven’t activated your MySWANA account, now is the time to do so.

For many of you, it is time to renew your SWANA membership. You can renew your membership online or you can call our member services number at 240-494-2244 and we can take your renewal over the phone. We value your membership in our community and look forward to continuing to serve you.
