Benton County Solid Waste Process Workgroup open house invites community members to “Talk Trash”
Benton County is inviting the public to an open house on April 4 from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Kalapuya Building in Corvallis hosted by the Benton County Talks Trash Solid Waste Process Workgroup.
Community members have already volunteered thousands of hours working with County staff and key stakeholders to provide recommendations about the future of sustainable materials management, solid waste, and disposal in Benton County. The workgroup is scheduled to deliver a final report to the Benton County Board of Commissioners on Apr. 4 that will provide recommendations for the Board about specific solid waste topics. Benton County will be seeking feedback following the submittal of the final report to the Board of Commissioners. Because this is a “bridge” process to subsequent County actions, the report does not address whether the landfill should be expanded or closed. More information about the process can be found on the project website.
The open house will provide a chance for the public to learn more from the workgroup as well as workgroup subcommittees that have been focused on:
“Transparency and openness with our community are a top priority and we have strived to be as open and transparent as we can by engaging with community members who have diverse perspectives, key stakeholders, landfill operators, adjacent counties, Oregon DEQ, and more,” said Benton County Community Development Director Darren Nichols. “The open house on April 4th is another opportunity for us to engage with the community and we hope it will be well attended.”
