The Northern Virginia Private Waste Haulers Alliance (NVPWHA) is dedicated to raising public awareness and engaging directly with policymakers to protect the future of private waste hauling. As pressure mounts from local proposals that threaten to replace private services with government-run monopolies, our role in public outreach and policy engagement has never been more vital.

We actively educate residents, community leaders, and elected officials about the value of independent haulers—emphasizing customer choice, competitive pricing, personalized service, and decades of trusted relationships with the communities we serve. Through town hall meetings, public awareness campaigns, direct communication with local boards, and digital outreach, we bring transparency to the conversation and ensure that private voices are not left out of policy decisions.

NVPWHA also monitors proposed legislation and regulatory changes at the local and regional level. We provide expert testimony, submit formal comments, and mobilize our member network to respond quickly and effectively when our industry is at risk. Our coordinated approach to policy engagement ensures that decision-makers understand the economic, environmental, and service-level impacts of their choices.

By combining public outreach with strategic advocacy, NVPWHA protects not just the businesses of our members—but the rights of every resident to choose who picks up their trash. We stand for fairness, accountability, and the long-term sustainability of private waste services in Northern Virginia.
