NAWDO provides a range of benefits for its professional membership, which is as low as £200 per member authority for 2026. The benefits of membership include:
- Direct opportunities for officers from member authorities to keep informed, up-to-date and share information with, and request information from others.
- Access to comprehensive benchmarking data and performance information.
- Opportunities to hear directly from Government officials, industry figures and other key stakeholders.
- Access to, and the opportunity to influence, responses to all relevant major consultations.
- Supporting Continuous Professional Development of waste officers (including that all NAWDO General Meetings count as 4 hours CPD for CIWM members).
- Access to forums where members can openly discuss and debate current and relevant issues facing senior officers with waste treatment and disposal portfolios.
If you work for a local authority with statutory responsibility for the disposal of waste (such as a county council, unitary council or a joint waste disposal authority) and are not already a member, then please get in touch if you are interested in joining.
