The interim program for this year's MWA Spring Workshop, MWA/Busch Systems Spring Classic and MWA AGM is now available.

This event will likely sell out so book your spot (and your hotel room) as soon as you can.

The trade show is sold out but there are still lots of sponsor opportunities. Link here for the sponsor's prospectus.

MWA Board 2013 to 2014 - Call for Nominations    

The Municipal Waste Association (MWA) is seeking nominations for the Board (for two positions) from its Municipal membership, for years 2013-2114. Board terms are for two years.  

Nomination deadline is Tuesday, April 2, 2013.

Aspiring board members may nominate themselves.

More details here.

A survey last year told us that not many of our members use the MWA website (www.municipalwaste.ca) regularly.
And yet more than 80% of respondents indicated the website is every easy, easy or somewhat easy to use, with just 13% finding it difficult to navigate.
So why aren't more people using it?
Below is a link to three questions designed to help answer that question.
It should take you no more than 30 seconds, and the feedback will be very helpful.

We don't need your name, just your feedback.
We'll close the survey in mid-February. 

Thanks! We'll be sure to tell you what we hear.

Would you like to join our new Landfill Issues Forum?

It has become increasingly clear that many of our MWA members include landfill as part of their responsibilities.

The interest shown in the landfill sessions at our fall workshop in Barrie confirmed this (and as of noon on December 11, we already had 32 names!).

in response to this, we are looking to set up a Landfill Issues Forum to compare notes, review issues and share ideas.

The first step is to make a list of those folks who would like to be part of this exercise.

We are not looking at making  a separate committee or having meetings at this point. Think of this as a trial run to gauge the interest and potential participation.

Once we have our list - and we'll send another chaser our early in the new year  - we can survey the list and see what topics you would like to discuss.

So, if you would like to be added to the Landfill Issues Forum list,  please email Ben Bennett at the MWA office at

ben@municipalwaste.ca

 and write "LIF" in the subject .
