EWSWA is a municipal board of authority created through an agreement with the City of Windsor to provide regional waste and waste-diversion programs.
The Authority Board consists of nine members, as follows:
- The Mayor of the City of Windsor (City), or their designate;
- The Warden of the County of Essex (County), or their designate;
- Three members of City Council appointed by City Council for the term of Council;
- Three members of County Council appointed by County Council for the term of Council;
- One additional member of either the City or County Council, on a one-year term basis, is appointed by the appropriate Council to take the place of the City or County member elected as Chairperson of the Authority for that year. The position of Chairperson and Vice Chairperson alternates from year to year.
The board meets at the County of Essex Administration Building at 4 p.m. on the first Tuesday of every month. If the Monday is a holiday, the meeting is rescheduled for the second Wednesday of that month.
Meeting agendas and minutes are posted on the EWSWA site.
