Directors & Alternates
Since the Agency was formed in 1991, 43 municipalities, Great Lakes Naval Training Center and Lake County have joined to participate in forming and maintaining the county solid waste management system. Agency staff provide members with assistance and advice on any and all solid waste management issues.

The representative must be an elected official, such as a mayor or trustee, or an administrative official, such as a village administrator. The current SWALCO Board Chairman is Glenn Ryback of Wadsworth. John Norris of Riverwoods is Vice Chairman.
