Every day, residents and businesses of greater Portland throw stuff away. Metro manages the system that handles and transports all that stuff – some 2.4 million tons every year of garbage, food scraps, yard trimmings, recycling, and hazardous waste – to their final destinations. Over the last 18 months, Metro has worked with communities around the region to shape the future of the garbage and recycling system.
This community conversation and comment session will provide additional information about the draft 2030 Regional Waste Plan, the next steps in the decision-making process and provide an opportunity to provide comment on the draft plan.
