Solid Waste Process Work Group
"Benton County Talks Trash"
Sign Up For Twice-Weekly Email Updates
Background
On Tuesday July 19th the Benton County Board of Commissioners heard the results of a Situational Assessment focused on solid waste and disposal, including Coffin Butte landfill.
An independent third-party affiliated with Oregon Consensus presented the situation assessment. For a copy of the written report, please click HERE.
The assessment includes a recommendation for the Board of Commissioners to create a temporary workgroup for making recommendations to the Board regarding specific solid waste topics. During the July 26th meeting, the Board decided to move forward with the process of convening this work group.
Participating
The Work Group will meet from early September through mid-December 2022, approximately twice a month for 3-4 hours per meeting. Work group members are expected to attend every meeting. Meeting materials will be sent to each work group member in advance for prior review, and their will likely be some "homework" for work group members between meetings.
Various stakeholders will be participating in the work group, including eight members of the public to be appointed by the Board of Commissioners.
Public Comment
Meetings will be open to the public with opportunities for public input. Please send written comments to BentonCountyTalksTrash@co.benton.or.us at least 48 hours in advance of the meeting, and the comment will be included in the meeting packet provided to the work group. Members of the public may also provide verbal comment during the meetings either in-person or virtually during public comment periods.
