Welcome to the Arizona Chapter of the Solid Waste Association of North America. With a membership of more than 200 individuals representing municipalities, private haulers, and major corporations, our chapter is the leader in addressing solid waste issues affecting Arizona.

Arizona's Integrated Solid Waste Rule

The Arizona Department of Environmental Quality is developing a new solid waste rule to create a systematic and comprehensive framework for regulating solid waste facilities and solid waste streams in Arizona.  This comprehensive regulation will integrate new and existing rules for best management practices, self-certification requirements, plan approval procedures, financial assurance requirements, design requirements, and operational rules for all solid waste facilities in Arizona.

For a copy of the June 9, 2008 draft rule, please go to ADEQ 6-9-08 Draft Rule Text .

For the latest information, please go to the ADEQ Rule Development page.

ADEQ wants to hear from SWANA, and SWANA wants your input!  Now is your chance to provide input in the rules and regulations that govern your solid waste operations, whether they be collection, hauling, disposal, or recycling.  If you have any comments or suggestions for ADEQ in developing the integrated solid waste rule, please submit your input to either:
