Lack of labor means about 90% of Shawnee County recyclables are being trucked to Kansas City facility

A labor shortage has all but shuttered the only recycling facility in Shawnee County, with 90% of its materials being processed elsewhere. Since mid- to late October, Waste Management of Kansas has taken all but about 10% of recyclables from the local Materials Recycling Facility by truck to be processed instead at the MRF it operates in Kansas City, Kan., said Lisa Disbrow, a spokeswoman for that company.
