The Foundation has been assisting the efforts of the Kay County Concerned Citizens and Kay County Farm Bureau to prevent the creation of a new solid waste landfill in Kay County. Kay County has enough landfill space for decades in the future. This new proposed commercial facility intends to take household waste from Kansas, and to compete with the county’s current landfills.

The Foundation is working with the Kay County Commissioners as they consider adopting a solid waste management plan for the County. The County’s plan will address extra tipping fees to be paid by the landfill company, upgrading the roads that are ingress and egress to the facility, and several environmental concerns.
