A Lopez Solid Waste volunteer has a fun conversation with a customer while helping them sort their recycling.
Celebrating 12 years of Lopez Solid Waste Disposal District — Lopez Island's community-loved and operated solid waste disposal facility.


In 2012, putting the health of people and the environment before profit, Lopez residents petitioned to establish a truly community-led waste disposal system: Lopez Solid Waste Disposal District. LSWDD is a junior district that's led and staffed by community members — our dedicated crew of staff and volunteers enable us to provide low-cost garbage disposal, free self-sorted recycling, and free exchange of reusables at Take It Or Leave It (TIOLI).
