The Lewis County Solid and Hazardous Waste Management Plan, a document required by Washington State law, RCW 70A.205.040. The law mandates each county prepare a comprehensive solid waste management plan, and update it periodically, is nearing its current update phase.

The draft plan update has been approved by all the cities in Lewis County. The Lewis County Commissioners will hold a joint public hearing with Lewis County Disposal District No. 1 on March 3 on or after 10 a.m. to received public comments on the document, then consider it for approval.
