The Northwest Missouri Regional Solid Waste Management District, Region A, is aligned with the Regional Council made up of Atchison, Gentry, Holt, Nodaway and Worth counties. It is one of twenty Solid Waste Management Districts operating with uniquely different funding levels, board structures, administrative organization, geographic size and demographics. District oversight is provided by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources Solid Waste Management Program.
Region A operates with a Full Council and Executive Board comprised of community leaders representing each county and cities with a population over 500. They meet on a regular basis; Full Council semi-annually and the Executive Board monthly. These two groups oversee all activities of the district, governed both by bylaws and Missouri state law.
The Solid Waste Advisory Committee, comprised of industry and regional community representatives, meets once each year. This committee makes recommendations to the Executive Board. Their job is to review the Solid Waste Management District goals and to advise the Executive Board on the merits of grant applications.
