SEATTLE (Waste Advantage): The National Waste and Recycling Association thanks the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency for recognizing solid waste collection workers as part of the Essential Critical Infrastructure Workforce. This designation comes after NWRA sent a letter to DHS Secretary Wolf requesting the designation. DHS designated the industry under their Public Works category:
While most other professions were grouped together on a single line, it is especially telling that waste collection received our own language in two separate sections. “This is a major win for the waste industry and for the advocacy program at NWRA. I am proud of my staff for remaining at their posts during this national crisis and providing support to our members. We do in fact represent a critical industry, and the NWRA staff have been working overtime to ensure that government rules and regulations do not impede the industry’s efforts to protect public health. We extend our thanks to DHS for recognizing the vital role of the waste industry,” NWRA President and CEO Darrell Smith.
