NWRA Urges Congress To Prioritize Recycling
In a letter sent to congressional leaders May 5, the Nation- alWaste & RecyclingAssociation (NWRA) calls upon legisla- tors to prioritize critical infrastructure industries, including waste and recycling, in the next COVID-19 relief package that Congress will take up soon.The Department of Home- land Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) designated the waste collection industry as essential in March. “During this national emergency, NWRA member com- panies have been classified as essential and are listed un- der five different ‘essential critical infrastructure workers’ headings in the CISA 3.0 guidelines,” said NWRA President and CEO Darrell Smith. “They will, therefore, continue providing waste and recycling services to their customers and communities in order to protect the public’s health and safety.We need congressional action on access to crit- ical personal protective equipment (PPE). Furthermore, in some instances, our member companies are not being compensated for their services because the business- es they serve are shut down as a result of the pandem- ic. We urge Congress to address these issues in the next COVID-19 relief package.” NWRA has retained The Vogel Group,Washington, to as- sist in its lobbying efforts. The Vogel Group is involved in COVID-19 response engagement and has ample experience working with legislators, according to the NWRA.
