  • About Us

    SWEEP (Solid Waste Environmental Excellence Performance) is a system of voluntary triple-bottom-line performance standards aimed at government waste management and recycling programs and the businesses that deliver those programs. SWEEP is similar to the LEED Green Building Rating system, but for solid waste.

    SWEEP Vision

    A world without waste where materials are valued and continually utilized for their highest and best purpose, without causing harm to human health and the environment.

    SWEEP Mission

    To promote continuous improvement toward a zero waste society that is environmentally restorative, economically productive, socially just, and to recognize and reward municipal and industry leadership in sustainable materials management.
