What is a SWANA Road-E-O?
During the inception of the Road-E-O, the Solid Waste Association of North
America was mostly managers and mid-level foreman who would travel to various
conferences for educational and networking opportunities. These managers
wanted to reward their staffs somehow and showcase the talents of their crews
in a family atmosphere. Thus, the Road-E-O was born!
The following equipment is use to test drivers' abilities in a standard
obstacle course:
Rear Loader
Automatic/Side Loader
Front-end Loader
Transfer Tractor/trailer
Roll-Off
Track Loader/Dozer
Landfill Compactor
Scraper (conventional/self loading)
Articulated front wheel loader
Several chapters have their own Regional Road-E-O and the first and second
place winners in each category move onto the International Road-E-O, usually a
month after WASTECON.
Winners often receive cash prizes and some companies or municipalities match
the awards. Local papers cover the events and despite the competitive
spirit, the Road-E-O remains a community outreach event that brings together
families, co-workers, and professionals.
If your chapter is interested in doing a Regional Road-E-O, you may
download the manual and
insurance information and contact David Hernandez at
