			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>NSWMA in early September filed an amicus brief in the Court of Appeal for the  State of California supporting Potrero Hills Landfill and Solano County in their  legal battle over Solano County’s Measure E. Several organizations, including the Sierra Club, filed lawsuits seeking  enforcement of Measure E in 2009 as part of their strategy to block the  expansion of the Potrero Hills Landfill.  Believing the Measure is  unconstitutional, Solano County has not enforced the measure for at least 19  years. This continues NSWMA&#8217;s long history of fighting similar laws. For decades, NSWMA has  opposed and successfully challenged such laws in counties and localities  throughout the country. <a href="http://www.environmentalistseveryday.org/news-solid-waste-industry/press-releases-2011/NSWMA-files-amicus-brief-091411.php">Read full release here.</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>NSWMA partnered  with the NIOSH, a component of the CDC and HHS, to develop a driver safety <a href="http://www.environmentalistseveryday.org/docs/SDTGA/flyer.pdf" target="_blank">flyer and bill stuffer</a>. The flyer can be shared with the customers of solid waste industry companies and others. It is intended to inform people about the inherent dangers that garbage collectors (drivers and helpers) face from other drivers when collecting trash and recyclables on American streets. The bill stuffer is designed to allow solid waste companies to personalize it with a picture of one of their company&#8217;s trucks. The flyer is a part of NSWMA&#8217;s Slow Down to Get Around (SDTGA) program.</p>
<p>SDTGA is a national safety campaign that reminds motorists to drive more carefully near solid waste collection vehicles. Motorists often are distracted while driving and frequently crash into collection employees or vehicles—sometimes with fatal consequences. In fact, dozens of solid waste employees were injured by careless drivers during the last year, and six of these workers were killed in such incidents. See a copy of the new <a href="http://www.environmentalistseveryday.org/docs/SDTGA/flyer.pdf" target="_blank">SDTGA flyer</a> here.  For more information about SDTGA, to request copies of SDTGA materials and to learn how all drivers can help keep garbage collectors safe on their routes, visit <a href="http://www.environmentalistseveryday.org/safety">environmentalistseveryday.org/safety</a>.</p>
