Lopez SWAP - Solid Waste Alternatives Program

The Lopez Solid Waste Alternatives Program (SWAP) nurtures environmental stewardship of Lopez Island through support of the Lopez Solid Waste Disposal District (LSWDD) and other programs that foster responsible waste management practices.  

SWAP is a non-profit 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization.

SWAP funds support:

 * The LSWDD Levy process

* LSWDD volunteer, staff and board appreciation events

*  Community Solid Waste Reduction initiatives such as Earth Day and the Great Islands Clean-Up

*  LSWDD Special Projects such as purchase of equipment for the Recycle Dogs and the  LSWDD 10 Year Anniversary mailing

* LSWDD emergency operating expense for breakdowns resulting in immediate loss of service. 

Now in its 11th year of operation, LSWDD provides  exemplary services to Lopez Island and is a model for other communities in responsible waste management practices.  SWAP fundraising  provides vital support to LSWDD and shows the staff and management how much we love and appreciate their services.
