    Waste Board

    The South Karelia Waste Board handles the statutory waste management authority duties of the municipalities of South Karelia (Imatra, Lappeenranta, Lemi, Luumäki, Parikkala, Rautjärvi, Ruokolahti, Savitaipale and Taipalsaari). The board's responsible municipality is Imatra. 

    The Waste Board decides, among other things, on waste management regulations, waste tariffs, and the level of waste management service offered to residents. 

    The waste management organization in the South Karelia region is the municipally owned South Karelia Waste Management Company.
