All available
ticket for Januarys Forum were sold out. An
interested cross-section of the west coasts
solid-waste and recycling industry was in
attendance.
More than 79% of
the municipal waste currently sent to Oregon
landfills are “organics” such as wood debris,
paper, and food waste. In Oregon and around the
country, solid waste managers are looking at
ways to divert organics toward composting or
energy production facilities. The forum explored the
challenges and benefits of diverting these waste
streams and the potential impacts of organics
recovery programs on existing waste systems and
infrastructure.
