Association of State And Territorial Solid Waste Management

The Association of State and Territorial Solid Waste Management (ASTSWMO) is a member-driven organization that was incorporated in 1974 and has maintained a full-time office in Washington, DC since 1980. The Association holds two general membership meetings each year, as well as specialized roundtables, workshops, and conferences for specific program areas of high interest. ASTSWMO works closely with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to ensure that its members are aware of the most current developments related to their programs and represents the interests of its members in Washington, DC. Its most important role is to assist States in learning from and working with other State peers. ASTSWMO is focused on making that happen through its various task forces, focus groups, and work groups within its subcommittees and research centers.
