The Benton County Board of Commissioners 

The Benton County Board of Commissioners invites community members to “talk trash” and learn more about the future of sustainable materials management, solid waste, and disposal in Benton County. 

Community members have already volunteered thousands of hours on the County’s Solid Waste Process Workgroup to provide feedback to Benton County and critical stakeholders for a constructive path forward relating to sustainable materials management and the future of solid waste disposal in the Mid-Willamette Valley, including at the Coffin Butte regional landfill. 

“Transparency and openness have been the key to this effort, and we are continuing to engage with community members who have diverse perspectives in addition to key stakeholders, Republic Services, adjacent counties, and the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality,” said Benton County Commissioner Pat Malone. “Working with the community on a long-term strategy for solid waste and disposal is important.”

Benton County is seeking feedback from the community. Learn more at https://www.co.benton.or.us/…/solid-waste-process-work… 

Join us for a Community Open House on April 4: at the Kalapuya Building in Corvallis, 4500 Research Way (RSVP to pioinfo@bentoncountyor.gov)

For more information or to RSVP for the in-person open house, please email pioinfo@bentoncountyor.gov.
