About Georgia SWANA

We are a growing organization dedicated to developing leadership and promoting professionalism, respect and credibility for solid waste management within the Chapter, within Georgia, and within the national SWANA organization.

Our Chapter serves over 250 members throughout Georgia, and many more with conferences, certifications, publications, and technical training courses.

Our chapter provides a variety of benefits to our members, including the opportunity to hear about the latest technologies and/or developments in our industry and to network with other solid waste professionals. Our purpose is to:
