Earth Day marks 30th anniversary in Kansas Lake region
The Lake region including Franklin, Anderson, Coffey, Linn, Miami and Osage counties led Kansas in recycled household hazardous waste last year at 10.9 percent of the state total. Franklin County earned an Outstanding 2000 Program award for efficient, growing recycling, supported by a county yard center offering after hours drop offs. The center processes 1.5 million pounds annually for 160 businesses and operates self-supported, with a buy in to local recycling efforts and item exchanges for paint and large appliances, reflecting a community-wide push to reduce waste and reuse materials.
