We are now the National Waste & Recycling Association!

The association representing the private-sector waste and recycling industry in the United States has changed its name and unveiled a new logo and tagline.

The name change follows the merger of Environmental Industry Associations and its sub-associations, the National Solid Wastes Management Association and the Waste Equipment Technology Association.

Our new logo includes symbols reflecting the industry's involvement in the collection of waste and recyclables, recycling, organics and composting, and the production of waste-based energy. The inclusion of the word "innovate" in the tagline highlights how technology is revolutionizing the way that waste and recycling is managed in America.

The National Waste & Recycling Association represents nearly 800 companies operating in the United States. Its members conduct business in all 50 states and include companies that collect and manage garbage, recycling and medical waste; equipment manufacturers and distributors; and a variety of other service providers.
