Public Input for Area Recycling

"Landfilled" Community Discussion on Recycling: Southern Johnson County Citizens Invited to Give Feedback that will Develop Better Programs
One KC Voice, a regional community engagement program housed at the Mid-America Regional Council (MARC), will host a community discussion in Olathe, Kan., as part of its "Landfilled" conversation series on recycling and landfill capacity. The event will take place from 6-7:30 p.m., Monday, May 12, at the Municipal Services Center, 1385 S. Robinson Dr. The input received from citizens will help the MARC Solid Waste Management District design better programs, inform elected officials, and develop a long-term strategy for responsible regional waste management.

One KC Voice is hosting a total of 31 "Landfilled" discussions across the region. The series officially started in February and will end in May.

Twenty-five of those events are supported by a grant from the MARC Solid Waste Management District. The district covers Cass, Jackson, Clay, Ray and Platte counties in Missouri; several of the events are also being held in Kansas.

The remaining six discussions are supported by funding from the Unified Government of Wyandotte County/Kansas City, Kan. The discussions in Wyandotte County will help the Solid Waste Management Committee develop new and current waste-reduction programs.

One KC Voice schedules engagements through a network of community organizations in Greater Kansas City. For more information, visit http://www.onekcvoice.org/ or call 816/474-4240.
