Long-Term Solid Waste Planning

In 2006, the Lee's Summit City Council created a Solid Waste Management Task Force to analyze issues associated with the closure of the landfill in 2014. The task force, comprised of citizens, business representatives and industry leaders, met monthly to research the issue and develop a recommendation for the City Council. With the help of SCS Engineers, a Solid Waste Management Plan was developed.

In September 2006, the Solid Waste Task Force presented the plan to the City Council, who referred the matter to the Public Works Committee for additional discussion and action. If you have any questions about the report, please call the Public Works Department at 969-1800.
