Celebrating 12 years of Lopez Solid Waste Disposal District — Lopez Island's community-loved and operated solid waste disposal facility. ​​

​

In 2012, 1,418 Lopez Island residents helped build a truly community-led waste disposal system: Lopez Solid Waste Disposal District. LSWDD is a junior taxing district responsible for solid waste disposal that's led and staffed by community members who ensure the health of people and the environment come before profit. Thanks to our knowledgeable and dedicated crew of staff and volunteers, LSWDD provides low-cost garbage disposal, free self-sorted recycling, and free ​exchange of reusables at Take It Or Leave It (TIOLI).
