We are proud to celebrate Lisa Milam and her well-deserved recognition as a recipient of this year’s Women in Waste Spotlight! ♻️
After an incredible 30-year career with Bluewater Recycling Association, Lisa retired in February 2026, leaving behind a legacy that will be felt for years to come.
Lisa has been a familiar and trusted face at our Material Recovery Facility, bringing dedication, expertise, and a commitment to doing things the right way every single day. Her deep knowledge of our operations, willingness to embrace change, and ability to solve challenges as they arose made her an invaluable member of our team.
Beyond her technical skills, Lisa was a mentor, a leader, and someone her coworkers could always count on. She shared her knowledge freely, supported those around her, and played an important role in building the strong team we have today.
From helping guide our transition to commercial recycling operations to mentoring the next generation of employees, Lisa’s impact on BRA goes far beyond the equipment she operated. She helped shape our workplace and contributed to the success of our recycling operations in countless ways.
Congratulations, Lisa, on this well-deserved honour! We are incredibly proud of everything you accomplished during your 30 years with us and we are grateful for the dedication, professionalism, and positivity you brought to our team.
We wish you all the best in this next chapter of retirement! 💚
