CAW’S Local Government Collaborative
CAWF invites you to join our Local Government Collaborative project, aimed at further engaging California’s local governments on waste reduction and recycling policies. Membership in this program will allow your agency to participate in regular calls to discuss the status of priority legislation and regulatory action. We want your input on local/regional efforts and opportunities for engagement on a broad range of issues, including waste reduction goals, producer responsibility, plastics policy, recycling/composting incentives, GHG regulations and organics diversion.
TESTIMONIALS
“Our agency relies on leveraging the knowledge of the CAW team to get the inside story - and the potential for unintended consequences - on the myriad of opaque and complex bills that introduced every year.”
“There’s tooo much at stake to miss what’s happening in Sacramento politics. CAW’s Local Government Collaborative keeps us informed and up to date on issues in the Legislature and at CalRecycle that directly impact our agency”
TIMELY UPDATES
Participating local governments receive regular e-mail updates and timely action alerts on key issues and have ongoing access to CAW staff as new issues develop, giving you the opportunity to access and inform policy as it evolves.
