I joined SWANA to build on my academic experience by learning more about the waste management industry for personal growth and to discover how I can contribute to its advancement.

Ben Brako - Student Royal Roads University, BC

I really like SWANA because in California we have a really strong conference out here but I appreciate SWANA for having an International perspective and being able to talk with professionals in the hauling field. That’s one of SWANA’s strengths.
