NWRA Supports Maryland Legislation to Make Collections Safer for Workers

SEATTLE (Waste Advantage): National Waste and Recycling Association (NWRA) member companies, along with a coalition of supporters, testified in support of SB 445, legislation that would require drivers to slow down and safely change lanes when approaching certain vehicles from behind.

“We appreciate the opportunity to join with other organizations like AAA, AFSCME, and our members, Republic Services and Goode Companies to make our streets and roads safer. Slow Down to Get Around legislation is a top priority for our industry. Over the past three years, NWRA and its chapters nationwide have successfully championed “Slow Down to Get Around” legislation, which is now the law in 16 states including Virginia and West Virginia and under consideration in several more,” said NWRA President and CEO, Darrell Smith.
