Coast Waste Management Association is a membership association serving the solid waste industry across coastal British Columbia and beyond.

With over 185 organizations as members comprising an active network of over 860 individuals, our membership approach ensures we can connect at all levels of an organization and across our industry.

We are also very fortunate to have a greater community reach of almost 4000 industry professionals from organizations outside of our membership who participate in our events and expand our reach of knowledge.

We draw from every area of the industry: private sector, local and provincial government, First Nations, educators, consultants, other associations and councils, and non-profit organizations. Our members are from all across British Columbia, Canada, and the USA but all share in their care and work managing British Columbia’s solid waste and working toward zero waste in the province.

CWMA members are involved in such diverse activities as recycling, composting, deconstruction, extended product stewardship, policy development, analysis, waste disposal, environmental education and consulting, and managing solid waste facilities.

We are proud to be a neutral and welcoming association for all industry sectors and regions across BC. We have helped make hundreds of connections which have been the catalyst for collaborations, inspirations, and new best practices in solid waste management and environmental leadership.
