Members save time and resources and encourage and promote best industrial waste management practice.

Quarterly annual members meetings provide a forum for information exchange and include regular updates by environmental legal experts, presentations by guest speakers and technical seminars on subjects of interest to the members.

Members have access to Environment Agency licensing information on UK waste management facilities via a secure login area on the WFAA web site. The EA data is updated quarterly and includes a site search and waste site location map facility.

Members can share and access waste management and other related environmental and management on-line training through the Association's e learning portal and learning management system.
