Staff
Lopez Solid Waste operates under a Governing Board comprised of all current members of the San Juan County Council, as well as a Managing Board of Lopez community members. Our staff is a mix of full-time, part-time, and on-call employees, and we rely on a dynamic team of dedicated volunteers who've always been central to the LSWDD story.
