Integrated Waste Management Authority

The IWMA is a Joint Powers Authority (JPA) formed in 1994 by San Luis Obispo County and the Cities and Community Service Districts (CSDs) within it to more effectively manage local solid waste programs. We're a public agency that was created in response to AB 939 and is governed by a Board of Directors elected to represent each of our member jurisdictions. The IWMA represents 20 jurisdictions and serves a population of over 282,000 through management of our 44 solid waste and recycling programs.
