This year marks 60 years since the National Waste & Recycling Association (NWRA) was founded to advocate for the waste and recycling industry. NWRA, originally named the National Council of Refuse Disposal Trade Associations, has celebrated many accomplishments over the years and is excited to celebrate its 60th anniversary with its members, partners and the industry as a whole in 2022.
One of our anniversary projects is a special video highlighting the Association’s history and future, as well as members’ and leaders’ memories and stories. Please enjoy the video below and send your own memories and stories to womens-council@wasterecycling.org for a chance to be featured on NWRA’s social media channels.
For this video, NWRA would like to extend a special thanks to everyone involved:
