The California Resource Management Association established as the CWA in 1984, is a non-profit statewide association of companies which generate, transport, treat, store and dispose of wastes (including recyclable materials and hazardous waste), as well as related service firms including engineers and consultants.

The Association has more than 100 governmental agencies as affiliate members including the California Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Toxic Substances Control, the Regional Water Quality Control Boards and many local health care agencies. 

The California Waste Association consists of five local chapters in Los Angeles, San Diego, Inland Empire, Bakersfield, Vetnura and Sacrament areas that hold regular luncheon and dinner meetings devoted to hot topics in the industry. These meetings often feature speakers from the high ranks of state agencies.
