The Division for Environmenal Planning & Assistance is responsible for coordinating solid waste and recycling. It manages what is officially know as the Warren County Area Solid Waste Management Plan. This plan lays out the collection and disposal of solid waste, as well as recycleables. The plan also includes sections on public education, landfill siting and enforcement, as well as statistics on collection of solid waste and recycling. Some of our local initiatives include the Litter Education and Abatement Program and the Illegal Open Dump Cleanup Program, as well as Warren County eScrap Collection Days.
If you have any questions about any of our programs, please call. We would love to help! We can be reached at 270-843-5353. Our e-mail is warco.depa@ky.gov .
