SWANA Oregon will
be hosting a tour of the new
Pacific
Region Compost Facility (PRC). This will
be your opportunity to tour a one-of-a-kind
facility in Oregon. PRC started out in the early
1990’s as a wood-recycling facility, when
curbside yard debris was being collected and
composted in static piles. For years the
facility operated with a permit that only
allowed the composting of green feed stocks or
vegetable based materials. In April of this year
PRC was granted a permanent permit to compost
all food waste, including meats, bones and
dairy, along with the green feed stocks. No
other facility in Oregon has this type of
permit.
The tour on
Thursday, July 22 begins at 10:30 a.m. with
introductions. The tour follows, with lunch
provided at noon. There will be a Board of
Directors’ meeting at 1 p.m., adjourning at 1:45
p.m.
The address of the
facility is 29969 Camp Adair Road, Monmouth, OR
97361. Monmouth is 8 miles north of Corvallis
off Hwy 99. There is plenty of parking available
on site.
Please RSVP for the tour by contacting
Betty Patton at 503-230-9513 or BPatton@SWANAOregon.org.
If you have any questions or need help finding
your way, contact Brian May, Operations Manager,
at 541-745-5792 ext. 22.
