An effective voice

The waste industry, through PWIA, has played an active, constructive role in public debates over waste issues and the formulation of public policy at the state level.

We supported renewal of the Act 101 $2-per-ton recycling tax and passage of the Waste Transportation Safety Act.

We participated in the Department of Environmental Protection Solid Waste Advisory Committee and made major contributions to the proceedings of the Industry & Waste Subcommittee of Pennsylvania Climate Change Advisory Committee.

Our members have frequently appeared before legislative committees and regulatory agencies to offer testimony and information on waste issues.
