The SWANA ROAD-E-O mission is to provide operators of solid waste collection and landfill equipment an opportunity to showcase their skills. This is done at a one-day event during which contestants operate various solid waste collection trucks and landfill equipment on different courses in the field and are scored according to their proficiency, with winners recognized. It is an opportunity for operators to not only compete with other operators, but to network with operators in the region from other companies or entities. In addition, first and second place winners will be eligible to attend the SWANA International Road-E-O with contestants from across the US and Canada. The Road-E-O is also an opportunity for employers and management to recognize and acknowledge their best field personnel by promoting the event and allowing them to attend and participate.
The Mid-Atlantic Chapter sponsored this year’s Regional Road-E-O, which included our neighboring chapters of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Road-E-O was held on May 10 at the Midshore II Landfill, located in Ridgely, MD.
Congratulations to the 2024 Mid-Atlantic Regional Road-E-O winners!
