Municipal Waste Management Association Announces Annual Meeting

The Municipal Waste Management Association (MWMA), an affiliate of the United States Conference of Mayors, is pleased to announce its upcoming Annual Meeting, to be held at the Westin Grand Hotel in Washington, DC, on March 13-15, 2000.

The MWMA Annual Meeting is an opportunity for city staff, including environmental commissioners, sanitation commissioners, solid waste and public works directors from across the nation, to meet and discuss the leading environmental and solid waste issues facing America’s urban areas. In past years, our Annual Meeting has seen participation from more than 50 cities, including New York, Chicago, Houston, San Diego, Denver, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and many others.

The MWMA Annual Meeting will address issues such as illegal dumping, environmental justice, clean air regulatory impacts, electric deregulation, alternative fuels for solid waste fleets, shared responsibility for waste reduction and OSHA’s ergonomics proposal. This will provide an excellent opportunity for the environmental commissioner and solid waste director from your city to share in the exchange of best practices and to engage in the development of new environmental policies for consideration next year in Seattle at the 2000 annual U.S. Conference of Mayors meeting.

Mayors are encouraged to send representatives from their cities to attend this meeting. To request a copy of the agenda or obtain registration information, please contact Jennifer DeLong, Program Manager, at (202) 861-6776, or send e-mail to jdelong@usmayors.org
