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 membership@swana.org
