"Lunch and learn presentation with North Lincoln Sanitary, Dahl Disposal and Thompson Sanitary; Lexi, Aimee and Dave presenting.
Our local haulers have been deeply active in Oregon’s (RMA) Recycling Modernization Act. Their work and collaboration with our own Solid Waste Disposal Service District will make it easier for us to all understand what goes in the bin soon.
Our local haulers get a bit of heat for the garbage bill when it comes in the mail. Yet, processing our waste is complicated. I am really impressed with the advocacy work by NLC, Thompson and Dahl to lead our entire State on waste management and recycling. They deserve some kudos for getting involved like they have.
The Recycling Modernization Act also requires companies that sell packaging, food service ware, etc. to share responsibility for the recycling system with local governments, recycling processors, and the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). It’s more holistic than previous models. It might not be perfect, but we’re headed in the right direction.
Thanks to everyone who attended our Lunch and Learn and stay tuned. More to come in the coming months of local and statewide recycling changes. Thanks to Marianne Seifert, Health Promotion Specialist, for all her continued work to have these important discussions. Next Lunch and Learn in the photos here; let's work together and turn that combined knowledge into positive action steps for all interests"
