About

Serving Pierce County Since 1977

LRI has been providing environmentally responsible waste disposal and recycling solutions to residents and businesses in Pierce County for over four decades.

Our Company

Our Roots in Pierce County

Founded in 1977, LRI was formed by four Pierce County garbage haulers following a decision to privatize the County's solid waste disposal system. The company acquired the Hidden Valley Landfill and entered into a disposal contract with Pierce County that same year.
