 [October 13, 2018]
The Logan County Joint Solid Waste Agency will cease operation as of
November 30, 2018.
The Agency’s Board faced with decreasing membership and funding
coupled with increasing recycling expenses has decided to
discontinue recycling services after more than two decades. The
Agency cannot sustain the costs of transportation and processing of
recyclable materials.
All recycling bins throughout the county will be removed the last
week of November. The Logan County Joint Solid Waste Agency requests
the public’s assistance in not leaving recyclable materials at sites
once the bins have been removed. Information/time frames on the
removal of recycling bins will be posted to the Agency’s Facebook
page.
Over the course of its initial twenty year Municipal Agreement, the
Agency met or exceeded all of its original objectives in providing a
comprehensive recycling program to the citizens of Logan County.

In addition to its weekly county-wide recycling route; the Agency
has sponsored a variety of recycling collections that included
appliances, electronics, tires (both public and municipal), glass,
paper shredding and two Household Hazardous Waste Collections.
The Agency has submitted an application to the IL-EPA for a
Household Hazardous Waste Collection and has opted-in with the State
of Illinois for electronics recycling on behalf of Logan County
Board for the upcoming year.
The staff and board members of the Logan County Joint Solid Waste
Agency thank the recyclers of Logan County for their commitment to
the ideals of recycling and their support of the Agency and its
programs over the past two decades.
