Tribal Solid Waste Education and Assistance Program (TSWEAP)::
The Tribal Solid Waste Education and Assistance Program was initiated by ITEP in October 2006 with funding from the US Department of
Agriculture (USDA).
TSWEAP activities are focused on providing training and assistance in the field of solid waste for tribal nations and communities in
Indian Country. ITEP develops four or five courses each year, as well as providing direct technical assistance to tribal professionals.
As part of these assistance activities ITEP recruits tribal "mentors" - tribal staff members who have expertise in various aspects
of solid waste, hazardous waste, brownfields, and source reduction activities - who are willing to give their time and share their
knowledge with other tribal employees who may be facing challenges in managing their solid and hazardous waste. For more information
on TSWEAP training courses and the mentor program, please click on the links below.
In coordination with other ITEP programs, TSWEAP produces a quarterly electronic newsletter called Full Circle. If you would like to
be added to the contact list for TSWEAP (which will insure that you receive applications for upcoming courses as well as a copy of
Full Circle) please email Todd.Barnell@nau.edu.
