5 GREAT REASONS TO JOIN
Strength in Numbers - A Voice in Government
All levels of government recognize the OWMA as the 'voice' of the private sector
waste industry in Ontario. We monitor and assess regulatory and policy initiatives to determine
their impact on the industry and on your business. We provide members with advance notice of new
or changing government initiatives, and work proactively to ensure that such initiatives
are justified, simple, and practical to implement.
OWMA also actively protects the business interests of member companies and promotes
public sector recognition of the proven 'track record' of the private sector in providing
cost-effective, reliable waste management services.
Access to Information
OWMA members receive regular information updates regarding most important waste
management and business issues. Electronic and fax newsletters, bulletins and fact sheets
keep members informed and knowledgeable. Tender notices are forwarded to members at the
request of municipalities and IC & I service inquiries are provided with a reference
list of local OWMA service providers.
Good Advice
OWMA provides members with valued, professional advice on regulatory and environmental management
issues affecting their business. Members can also draw upon the experience and professional
expertise of OWMA committees and task groups for assistance and support. OWMA is a
'repository' for collective industry experience - an issue facing a member may already have
been resolved by another member - access the collective industry experience to your benefit.
Recognition
OWMA promotes members as 'the best in the industry' with municipalities, government and IC & I
business groups - enhancing business opportunities for members. OWMA provides members with
visibility opportunities through advertising, sponsorships and media promotion.
Know Your Industry and Your Suppliers
OWMA provides opportunities through social and business events for the exchange of
information and experiences amongst industry peers. OWMA events often contain a blend of
educational and social objectives - get to know the industry and get to know the people that can
benefit your business.
