SOLID WASTE

 

The Region F Solid Waste District has carried out numerous successful projects.  These are mostly in the areas of education, recycling, composting, household hazardous waste collections, tire recycling, electronics waste  (e-waste) collection and assistance to small recycling businesses. The Region F Solid Waste Management District provides grant funds to local governments, private businesses, not-for-profit organizations and individuals for implementing waste reduction, reuse and recycling projects.

The Region F District, comprised of Morgan, Saline, Pettis, Johnson and Lafayette and all cities therein, receives funds from the Missouri Solid Waste Management Fund to reduce the amount of waste entering our landfills. Our Education department is available for on-site visits to your school or organization to do a presentation on recycling and Illegal Dumping at no cost.

Our Illegal Dumping Poster/Calendar Contest for 2011 will take place in Pettis County this year. Art and 5th grade teachers will be receiving their packets at the end of August. The winners art work will be posted on a bill board on a major Highway in Pettis County near Sedalia, MO. If you should have any questions please feel free to contact us.
