ECUA Receives Gold, Bronze National Solid Waste Awards

August 16, 2012

The Emerald Coast Utilities Authority received a couple of awards during WASTECON 2012 conference sponsored by the Solid Waste Association of North America.

ECUA District 1 board member Elizabeth Campbell was in Washington to receive the 2012 SWANA Gold Award for public education and the 2012 SWANA bronze award in the collections systems category.

The gold award honors the public education campaign created by ECUA to promote the beginning and enhancements to a curbside recycling program. The bronze award recognizes ECUA’s automated collection program that serves 74,000 residential and 1,100 commercial customers.

    Thanks for the info Ms. Bowers… So, we can expect her not to file a travel claim or request it from the board?

    For PSU1Earl:

    Ms. Campbell was in the area visiting family on a previously scheduled trip, and travelled at her own expense.

    Did we (customers) pay to have the board member go to WASTECON 2012 in Washington? How long did she stay there, etc? Would like to know if this is where my money is going… was it part of that sewer improvement fee? Or the pointing finger fee (due to county ordinance)?

    Why do we even have a WASTECON 2012? It sounds pretty dumb if you ask me… do they have groupies that dress up in costumes? :P
