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 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.
