Overview

Mission

To advance the practice of environmentally and economically sound management of municipal solid waste by providing education and networking opportunities to solid waste professionals in every area of the industry, benefiting individual members while also furthering the work of the industry.

What it reported doing in 2022

Provided training/informational presentations focusing on hot topic issues such as mandatory commerical recycling facilities, landfill gas plants, transfer stations, and new technology demonstrations involving waste transformation and waste to energy.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
