Lake Region Solid Waste Authority

Lake Region Solid Waste Authority MISSION
To facilitate proper solid waste management, advocate for waste reduction and landfill diversion, and encourage the public to recycle.

The Lake Region Solid Waste Authority is a non-profit consortium of six Kansas counties (Anderson, Coffey, Franklin, Linn, Miami & Osage) who joined together to provide our communities with accessible facilities and services for the effective management of solid waste, household hazardous waste, and recycling. We want to increase public awareness and program participation through engaging community partnerships, plus active education and outreach efforts.

Don't trash them...REUSE them! Most recycling programs will not take plastic eggs - so it's best to get as much use out of them as possible! 🐣
