Select Society of Sanitary Sludge Shovelers
- Select Society of Sanitary Sludge Shovelers
The Select Society of Sanitary Sludge Shovelers (5S) is used by water environment associations (i.e. those working with sewage and sewage treatment) to honour those who have made a particular contribution to the industry.
The original Chapter of the Five S Society was formed in Arizona in October 1940, the idea being conceived by A.W. "Dusty" Miller and F. Carlyle Roberts, Jr. There are chapters in many of the United States and in Canada, as well as the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand.
5S chapters do not accept applications, but select potential members.
