At the Northern Virginia Private Waste Haulers Association (NVPWHA), advocacy is at the heart of everything we do. Our mission is to ensure that private waste haulers have a strong, unified voice in the face of local and regional policy decisions that directly impact our businesses, employees, and the communities we serve.

Through targeted advocacy efforts, we monitor proposed legislation and county ordinances to identify risks and opportunities for our members. When policies threaten fair competition, operational freedom, or our ability to serve customers effectively, NVPWHA acts swiftly. We engage with county boards, supervisors, and state representatives to present the facts, share industry expertise, and propose solutions that maintain service quality while protecting private enterprise.

Our team prepares detailed policy analyses, public statements, and testimony to ensure decision-makers understand the real-world impacts of their choices. We organize outreach campaigns, equipping members with talking points and resources to contact officials, attend hearings, and represent our collective interests. Together, we emphasize the value of private haulers: flexibility, responsiveness, competitive pricing, and a commitment to customers that government-run monopolies cannot match.

Additionally, NVPWHA builds strategic relationships with allied organizations, business associations, and community leaders to strengthen our advocacy reach. By uniting our voices, we have successfully influenced decisions that could have restricted our operations and limited customer choice.

Looking forward, we continue to advocate for policies that encourage fair competition, promote safety and environmental stewardship, and recognize the vital role private haulers play in waste management. Your participation in our advocacy efforts ensures our industry remains strong, resilient, and ready to serve Northern Virginia with excellence.

Together, we stand firm – protecting our businesses and preserving the freedom of choice for the communities we call home.
