  • A SUMMARY of SWANA HISTORY August 2012
    A SUMMARY OF SWANA HISTORY August 2012 Advancing the practice of environmentally and economically sound management of municipal solid waste in North America. Guiding Principle: Local government is responsible for municipal solid waste management, but not necessarily the ownership and/or operation of municipal solid waste management systems. TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF SWANA – 1962 TO PRESENT CHAPTERS – Foundation of the Association GOVERNANCE and MANAGEMENT TECHNICAL PROGRAMS SWANA PROGRAMS AND MEMBERSHIP SERVICES TODAY INTRODUCTION: SWANA Today ALPHABETICAL LISTING OF PROGRAMS AND SERVICES (Note: Appendices and Attachments are in a separate document) INTRODUCTION As part of the celebration of the Associations 50th Anniversary, we have put together a summary of the history that makes the Association the viable and dynamic organization it is today. Each of us knows, in our own personal and professional lives, what the Association means to us – how it has contributed to each personal development, and impacted each career, through networking, training, research & development, and advocacy work, to name a few. Being there to provide the latest information and support - the foremost “community” in our ever growing industry. The formation, development and growth of the Association – starting as the Governmental Refuse Collection and Disposal Association (GRCDA) – and later becoming The Solid Waste Association of North America (SWANA), is presented in this document. The history for the years 1960 through 1996 was authored by Lanny Hickman, the Executive Director of the Association from 1978 to 1996 – and is available in SWANA’s On-Line Library in its entirety. The information provided by Lanny for those years was utilized for this summary history – and the information for the following fifteen years, until present, was completed by Associate Director, Kathy Callaghan, with the assistance of SWANA Staff.

In the Beginning In the days when only the American Indian inhabited the territory we know today as “Michigan,” explorers from Europe were actively seeking new lands for their mother countries. Two French explorers, Brulé and Grenoble (sometimes spelled “Grenolle”), were the first Europeans to cast eyes on the great Lake Superior around 1622, and were determined from that first moment to claim this new land for France. To protect their interests and defend their new-found territory from the Spanish and the British, they established military forts at key defensive points in the Great Lakes area. Fort Michilimackinac and Fort Miami (at the St. Joseph River) were among the first. In 1701, Fort Pontchartrain was established on the Detroit River.
