Shaping Policy for a Safer, Smarter Industry
Advocacy is at the heart of NWRA’s mission. We work daily with lawmakers, regulators, and industry partners to advance practical policies that protect our workforce, encourage innovation, and strengthen the essential services our members provide.
Take Action
Join NWRA’s grassroots network to advocate for policies that protect and strengthen the waste and recycling industry. Our action center makes it easy to connect with lawmakers, personalize messages, and support campaigns that make a difference.
Local & State
From landfill regulations to recycling initiatives to franchising to annexation, local and state policies shape how our industry operates every day. NWRA’s state chapters work directly with local and state decision makers and regulators to advance practical solutions that support safety, innovation, and sustainable waste management.
Federal
NWRA represents the private waste and recycling industry before Congress and federal agencies, promoting policies that foster safety, innovation, and sustainability. Through direct engagement with policymakers, we ensure our members’ voices are heard on the issues that matter most.
PAC
The NWRA Political Action Committee supports federal candidates who understand and champion the waste and recycling industry. By contributing to the PAC, members help strengthen our voice in Washington and ensure the industry’s priorities are represented in the policymaking process.
