Program · Solid Waste District Region B · formed 1992
Region B is the largest of Missouri’s twenty solid waste districts: eleven counties and 75 communities in north central Missouri. The District works with communities, counties and the private sector to keep waste out of landfills through recycling, source reduction, public education and partner projects.
The North Missouri Solid Waste Management District was formed in 1992, after the Missouri General Assembly passed Chapter 260 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri, a comprehensive revision of the Missouri Solid Waste Management Law. Senate Bill 530 created twenty solid waste districts across the state.
Region B covers Caldwell, Carroll, Chariton, Daviess, Grundy, Harrison, Linn, Livingston, Mercer, Putnam and Sullivan Counties. The District meets quarterly, usually alongside the GHRPC Board of Directors. See the District’s meeting records.
Residential collection events
District B uses grant funds from the Missouri Department of Natural Resources each year to collect banned and special items across the region. Grant funds pay the disposal cost; Plan Implementation funds pay for staff time. For more than twenty years these events have kept household hazardous waste and banned items out of landfills.
Towns with a collection event in the table. Points are Census internal points for each town, not the street address of the event. County boundaries: U.S. Census Bureau (TIGERweb, 2026), drawn in the page from GeoJSON. On the live site, GHRPC’s own ArcGIS Pro exports are drawn the same way. No embedded map service.

District Grant Program
The District Grant Program gives financial help to cities, counties, nonprofits and other organizations for new or improved programs that reduce waste, create or improve markets for recovered material, or improve the handling of items banned from landfills by Missouri law.
Livingston County · Chillicothe
Hope Haven Industries, a sheltered workshop in Chillicothe, received grant funding of $20,000.00 to buy a newer pickup, used to collect and transport recyclables across the District.
Statewide partnership
With the Missouri State Fair, the Missouri State Recycling Program and the Missouri Recycling Association, roughly 300 recycling containers go out across the fairgrounds. In 2022, 6.89 tons of cardboard, plastic and aluminum were recycled during the fair.
Almost all recycling in the region is handled by nonprofits such as sheltered workshops, supported by the District. The District is also working with partners to start a glass recycling project in Chillicothe, with glass collected and transported by Ripple Glass in Kansas City and made into insulation and recycled bottles.
